Ellis as usual hit the line hard and for many gains. When Harvard made her hardest attacks on Yale's line, Ellis gained the ground. In eight successive plays he carried the ball to the three yard line, but on the ninth, when weakened by his exertions, he could not make the requisite two yards. He was much more effective in backing up the centre than ever before. Early in the second half he was replaced by Reid, who punted well, and by his own determined spirit enabled the team to make that last brace that almost won the game...
...finally, on Harvard's 47 yard line, Daly began to rush the ball. Three 10 yard rushes,--on two double passes and a mass play,--four five yard rushes, and then Yale made a stand.

Until Tuesday the race promised to be slightly in favor of the Newell crew, but on that day Glidden, who was rowing at 3 in the Newell eight, stopped rowing.

Although Morris is a very good oar, any change at so late a date tends to make the crew...
