...yards and Flinn around right end for 4 more to Harvard's 53-yard line. Flinn fumbled the next play and Hurley fell on the ball. Starr fumbled and Shevlin got the ball for Yale on Harvard's 49-yard line. After one play Shevlin in an attempt to run from his position around Harvard's left end was thrown by Brill for a loss of 1 yard.
