...yards, whereas Yale rushed 32 times for 70 yards. During this half Yale held Harvard once for downs, and Harvard held Yale once for downs and forced her to kick three times.

The only blocked kick was one of Yale's. Yale lost the ball on downs on Harvard's 27-yard line. The rest of the time she did not get within Harvard's 50-yard line. Harvard...
...Ellis, however, gave Harvard first down on Yale's eight-yard line.

During the remainder of the half the substitutes rushed the ball down the field by varying straight football with occasional double passes. At the ten yard line, the second eleven made a stand, and secured the ball on downs when time was called...
