...creditable and was responsible for most of the gains. It formed quickly, got away firmly, and stuck together very well. This, however, was the only part of the work which showed any improvement. The line, although strong in defense, did not put enough life into the play and seldom broke through to open holes or block punts.

Columbia failed to gain twice and Harvard got the ball on the five yard line on Morley's poor punt. Sawin on the next play broke through right tackle again and scored the last touchdown. J. Lawrence kicked another goal from a difficult angle. From then until the end of the game Harvard played a defensive game and Columbia had the ball most of the time. They got first down only once, and the game ended...
