...second quarter Army will march 65 yards for a touchdown, long end run by Cagle featuring. Somebody or other will kick the goal. Just before the end of the half Harvard will score on a drop-kick by either Gilligan or Devens (sorry to be a little doubtful on that, but even I am not perfect). Score at end of half, Harvard, 10, Army...
...Crusaders, 12 to 0. In 1923, however, Holy Cross came back stronger than ever and after threatening throughout most of the game to break the long established Crimson supremacy was downed by a fake kick and pass from the hand of K. S. Plaffmann '24, Harvard's drop-kick specialist of a few years back. 1924 merely saw a prolongation of the struggle, and then in 1925 Crimson failure to kick a point after touchdown into the afternoon's total gave the Purple its first victory over a Harvard team.

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...

Losing ground on the next play, the Blue quarterback fell back to the 41-yard mark, and arched a beautiful drop-kick for the final score.

Near the close of the second quarter, Coach Knox's men worked the pigskin to the Freshman 30-yard streak, and Winston tried a drop-kick that went low, was blocked by Stewart and recovered by Douglas. This was the only occasion on which either outfit penetrated far into its opponents' teritory. For the most part, the play was beween the 40-yard marks, with the defensive work of both teams stifling any offensive...
