Perhaps Wood's greatest game came against Army in that 1931 season. Trailing by two touchdowns, he rallied Harvard to a 13-13 tie, and then performed a predictable feat of heroism. The pass from center for the extra point was low so he scooped up the ball and danced untouched into the endzone for the winning point. Then, as the clock ticked away the final seconds, Army's fleet half-back Paul Johnson broke loose toward the Harvard goal.

...THOMSON: Senator, let me throw out a quick comment on that. It belongs so clearly in the crystal ball realm that anyone who would pretend to give you an answer is deluding himself.

...might be expected, Yale showed infinite improvement the next year, successfully avenging Harvard's initial victory. However, the Yale win was marred by the ungentlemanly conduct of the Blue spectators. When a Yale player kicked the ball over the goal in the final period to give the Bulldogs a slim lead, the partisan New Haven crowd pranced onto the field and used up 20 minutes of precious playing time carrying the Yale players around on their shoulders. Although football has changed considerably since these early times, the Yalies--sadly-have...
