Harvard continued to repeat this trick, following with one where the ends came back and Emmons ran with the ball. On the ninth down the ball was on Yale's 13 yard line. Here Harvard lost it on four downs...
The ball was carried by Short away down the field within 3 yards of goal.
50, 45, 40, 35 yard lines were passed. 7 minutes more remained to play. Could we make a touch-down? Off-side play gave Harvard 5 yards more and the Crimson was rampant. Right straight through the centre they went again. Now the ball was on the 25 yard line...
Armstrong broke from the line and carried the ball to the 15 yard line. Two rushes were made with little success. Thorne then carried the ball to the 10 yard line. It looked like a touch-down.
It seems impossible for Harvard, however, to get the ball entirely down the field. On she went, nevertheless, for five yards which her mass play gave her. Then, while the doctors looked after men who were slightly hurt, Harvard reckoned her chances.
