Everyone was put up at a lodging called the New Haven House, and on Saturday morning, rather than tailgate, the Yale men drove their Cambridge counterparts around New Haven, showing off objects of interest in town. The game started at 2:30 p.m. (this year's game starts at 12:30) and was played at a place known as Hamilton Park. The price of admission was 50 cents. On a sour note, seven Harvard students...
...touchdowns, including a two-point conversion, to take an 18-14 lead at the half. Holy Cross cut the lead 18-17 early in the third, but then Wilford's 12-yard touchdown gave Harvard a more comfortable lead.

On its next possession, led by Menick's rushing, the Crimson drove down to the one-foot-line with seven seconds left. On the last play, Harvard Coach Tim Murphy chose to let Wilford run a sneak instead of allowing Giampaolo to attempt a field goal.
