...brilliant rushing of Swann soon secured another touchdown on line plays. Stillman kicked the goal. Craig-head kicked off to Daly, who ran well to his own 40-yard line. Stillman scored on a fake kick, by hard rushing and clever use of interference, but missed the goal...
...unbeaten. The Harvard eleven had fought their way up to Yale's goal-line, and almost where they had been baffled two years before, again could not carry the ball two yards to victory.

Kendall is a brilliant line bucker and Sawin dodges well, and Ellis's strength is in line plunging, although he is apt to fumble...
