The remaining eight-and-a-half minutes did not produce a first down. Carey's booming punts kept Harvard out of Yale territory. Van Oudenallen and Carey punted twelve times between them in the half, arey averaging 38 yards and Van Oudenallen 36

The Crimson effectively shut down Yale's long-passing attack and Humphrey, reluctant to throw short close to his own goal line, kept his team on the ground. The vicious tackles by Bob Barrett and Justin Hughes twice dropped Humphrey for long losses.

McCluskey wound up the half with just two completions in seven passing attempts. Humphrey was five-for-11 for Yale. Leo with just 27 yards was the half's leading ground gainer.

And then suddenly, Harvard's offense began to resemble to pre-season press notices. Tom Choquette and Leo got Harvard first down; three plays later the Crimson was confronted with a third and ten situation. Leo took a pitchout from McCluskey and with the ad of a fine block by Choquette rambled 25 yards to Elis 46.

Grant charged to the 10 and it was goal to go. On third down, McCluskey pitched to Leo who went into the end zone standing up. The kick made it 7-0.

Wthin a minute Harvard was back for more. Dave Poe intercepted an Eli pass and Harvard took it on the Yale 12. Chouette picked up a first on the one, then scored on the next play. The kick was blocked.
