The Brown front line swarmed O'Brien and the ball popped loose in the ensuing tackle, only to be recovered by an anticipating Brown defender on the Harvard 11-yard line.

String of Penalties

The Bruins took control, but once again Brown suffered a string of penalties and had to settle for a field goal. The field goal came at 4:53 of the fourth period, and the Crimson trailed, 23-6.

Following a few changes of hands, Harvard regained possession under the direction of Gordon at quarterback. Gordon mixed the running plays well, handing off to fullback Tom Lincoln when the yards were needed most.

Gordon led the Crimson across midfield and deep inside Brown territory, on a drive that was sustained by a great catch by end George Ticknor.

The Crimson drove inside Brown's ten, and a Brown penalty brought the ball to the five-yard line. On the next play, Gordon executed a keeper around the right end for the score, and Harvard trailed 23-12.

O'Brien came in to attempt the two-point conversion, but a strong Brown rush thwarted his efforts.

With less than five minutes remaining, Harvard attempted a short kick and Crimson safety John McCarthy gathered in the loose ball in the midst of three brown jerseys.

McGuire called upon Gordon to lead the offense, and the signal caller brought the Crimson downfield for a quick score, culminating with a Tom Lincoln grab of a Gordon aerial. The conversion failed, with the Crimson down by only five, 23-18, with less than two minutes remaining.

Brown ate up the clock with running plays, and time ran out on the Crimson comeback.

The loss drops the junior varsity gridders' slade to 1-2.
