Except for the Eliot squad, which lost to Pierson-Davenport, 24-12, the other Crimson squads all downed their Eli opponents. True to form, Kirkland House took a hard-fought 14-6 decision from Jonathan Edwards-Branford. After falling behind 6-0 on a touchdown, 30 seconds before halftime, K-House roared back when fullback John Gilles ran for a touchdown in the third quarter. The clincher was a 60-yd, return of an interception by Howard Needle, which saved the day for Publoball...

With the ball on the Harvard 45 and Yale facing a fourth-and-12 situation, the ubiquitous Jones drove a low punt into the end zone and Harvard took over...
