...held. Wigglesworth's onside kick was recovered by Howe on Yale's 5-yard line and he immediately kicked out of danger. Receiving the ball on the 30-yard line, Harvard again commenced rushing it toward Yale's goal. Three plays advanced the ball 14-yards and Corbett, after making it first down, fumbled and the last and best opportunity to score was lost. Yale at once kicked out of danger, and resorting to a kicking game, gradually drove Harvard back. Just before time was called, Daly tried a drop-kick from the 35-yard line, but it went wide...

The second touchdown was made by Graustein in the middle of the last period. Brown had carried the ball through Harvard territory for 88 yards on 13 line plays and three successful forward passes...
