Yale 24

Bucknell 25

Yale walked away with deep-seeded frustration on October 11 after dropping its third game of the season to Bucknell, 25-24.

Indeed, the two teams were closely matched throughout most of the contest. Building on the offensive momentum developed during the Bucknell win, Yale scored three touchdowns in the course of the game.

Three, however, would prove insufficient for the win.

Yale was unable to convert any of the attempted two-point plays and its hopes for a two-game winning streak were crushed in a heartbreaking loss.

Darmouth 21

The Big Green jumped out to take the early lead, and the Elis trailed 21-0 after only 25 minutes of play.

A Yale touchdown midway through the second quarter temporarily raised spirits, but it would prove to be the Bulldogs' only points of the game.

Both teams remained scoreless in the second half for a 21-7 Dartmouth victory. Yale's defense made a strong showing, particularly in the second half, in which it allowed Dartmouth only 87 rushing yards.

But Yale was unable to penetrate the Big Green's defensive line, and the first half damage proved irreparable.

Yale's losing streak continued to three straight on October 25. The game was a virtual repeat of the previous week's defeat by Dartmouth.
