Soldiers Field, Saturday, Nov. 21, 1931.

An underdog Yale football team, led by its invaluable captain Booth, brought to a close the brilliant undefeated record of Captain Wood's Harvard eleven, which after four periods of superb football finally succumbed by a score of Yale 3, Harvard 0.

On the next play a mix-up in backfield forced the ball to Harvard's 32-yard line. Then Wood kicked to Booth, who was downed in his tracks on Yale's 41-yard stripe.

Crowley gained a yard on the first play. Booth's attempted line buck was stopped at line of scrimmage. On the third down Parker kicked to Crickard, Harvard taking the ball on her 22-yard line. Crickard gained a yard off tackle, but was nailed on second play for no gain. On third down Yale was offside, and was penalized five yards. Wood called for a play by Sherry and the first down resulted. Crickard failed to gain around Yale's right end. He was nailed again for no gain. On the third down.

On the third down, Parker kicked to the Harvard end zone. Harvard forces took possession of the ball on their own 20-yard line. Time out for Yale.

With the ball in play again, Sherry went off tackle for four yards and for the second time on the same play, added two more. Crickard went off tackle for a yard. Yale was offside and penalized five yards giving Harvard first down on her own 31-yard line. Yale was offside again and penalized five yards, advancing the ball to the Harvard 36-yard line. Crickard added two yards, but Harvard was penalized 15 yards on the play for holding.

Sherry gained two yards through the centre of the line, but Crickard was thrown for a loss on an attempted end sweep. Wood kicked to Booth on the Yale 48-yard line, where he was downed in his tracks by Nazro.

Crowley failed to penetrate through the Harvard line. He was nailed again on next play for a scant yard gain. Parker fumbled the ball but Rotan recovered it. Parker's kick to Crickard was grounded by Barres, Yale giving the ball to Harvard on the Crimson six-yard line. Sherry's line plunge netted three yards, while on the second play, he added two more.

On the third down Wood chose to kick and with the wind against him, the Harvard captain's punt went only 35 yards, giving Yale the ball on Harvard's 38-yard line as the period ended.
