...through the Harvard line as if it had been mosquito netting and thrust his chest in front of the ball. There was a dull thud. Later on, after the touchdown, there was a placement from the field, a field goal. Even the Crimson efforts of men with names like Chauncey and Saltonstall were not good enough to beat a Yale team which, in a game as bleak as the weather, unrolled victory from a net of fumbles and blocked kicks...
...list of those wearers of the Crimson in the football battles against Princeton and Yale who will receive their major "H" has been made public by the H. A. A. Letter awards will go to the following 26 members of the squad: Dudley Boll '28, Henry Chauncey '28, E. C. Clark '27, C. D. Coady '27, L. F. Daley '27, A. E. French '29, E. F. Gamache '27, W. C.

Three yards were lost at the line on the next play, and then Chauncey fell back and shot the bullet-like pass to Saltonstall that carried the Harvard hopes. At full speed, stretching and straining, Saltonstall clutched the oval and dashed the ten yards to tie the count. Chauncey's drop-kick put Harvard ahead...
...deepening darkness Captain Bunnell caught a punt on Yale's 30-yard line and fore down the field. A Crimson tackler almost upset him, but he dodged, and dodged again, and reached the Harvard 29-yard line before Chauncey downed him.
