But in Manhattan, Thomas W. Phelps, of Francis I. Du Pont & Co., another leading Dow exponent, thought otherwise. The industrials and rails, said Phelps, would have to break their lows of last February (when the industrials were at 164.07 and the rails at 47.48) before a positive bear "signal" would be given.

...break in the game came with ten minutes to go. Harvard took the ball after Yale missed a field goal attempt, and drove to a score in 13 plays. Struck faked, spun, and cracked off tackle for twenty yards; Macdonald ran for more; and with the ball on the nine, Foley charged into his right tackle, faked, and cut outside to score standing up.
