...gains and scoring four touchdowns. O'Flaherty and McKay were not on the field, but they are not to be out of the game for long. O'Flaherty will be back again tomorrow. The line-up was shifted in a slightly different manner from that of the day before. Captain Fish had not returned from West Point and P.

A fake kick failed to gain so Dean punted to Frothingham, who was tackled instantly on Harvard's 40-yard line. A quarterback run gained seven yards, three line plays netted 17 yards more, but Harvard was penalized for offside play, leaving the ball on West Point's 50-yard line. Here O'Flaherty sent a forward...
