...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.
