Yale, receiving the second half kick-off, took possession on the Harvard 49. The offense stalled on the 43, and the Elis punted to Harvard on the 13.
After Joslin ran the ball to the 18 over tackle, Stahura returned to the game. On the next play he fumbled and Tarasovic recovered. It was his tenth recovery of the season.
Ward and Coker were alternating, carrying the ball downfield, Ward hitting the line twice, to the one, and then across to give Yale its second touchdown. Vern Loucks again converted, to make the score 10 to 0 after 7:12 of the third quarter.
The touchdown was the 11th of the season for Ward, the Ivy League leading scorer, who now is one touchdown short of the modern Yale scoring record. This was set in 1929 by Albie Booth.
Yale kicked off, Oehmler returning to the Harvard 21. Lewis moved the ball to the 31 on an inside reverse, which was followed by a brief scuffle on the field.
Stahura, fading back on a pass option, elected to run--run he did--to the Yale 49, and then cut loose with three completed passes in four plays. The first one to Joe Crehore moved the ball to the 18. The third, a spot pass to Lewis, moved the ball to the nine. A play later, Stahura threw still another pass.
Kennedy Scores
It went into the end zone, intended for Lewis. Lewis bobbled the ball, but before it fell to the soaked turf, Kennedy picked it up for a touchdown. Bing Crosby converted to make the score 14 to 7.
Copeland kicked off for Harvard, to the Yale 13, where McGill ran it back to the 48. Yale's offense stalled on the Harvard 47, then Ward punted to Cros by on the 20. Crosby returned the ball to the 27. Oehmler was hurt on the play, and Hallet replaced him. Joslin ran from the 33 for three to the 30 as the quarter ended.
On the first play of the quarter Stahura spiraled a pass intended for Morrison. It was intercepted on the run by McGill, who sprinted 39 yards down the right sideline for the third Yale touchdown. No Harvard defender had a chance to stop him. Vern Loucks again converted to make it 21 to 7 Yale.
Stahura returned the Yale kickoff to the 36, then passed to Kennedy to the Yale 49 and ran to the 41 himself. After Joslin ran a first down, the offense stalled and he punted.
