Four Elis, three Indians, three Quakers, and one Tiger were the choices of the Crimson varsity lettermen when they cast their votes for an All-Opponents football team out of the many outstanding men they met on the field this fall.
Scoring once early in the game, the Elis made their second touchdown in the closing minutes of play when Smith intercepted a long pass thrown by Jitbug White and returned it for a touchdown.
In the last quarter, when it was the Elis turn to benefit by the wind, they stormed the Harvard not with a vengeance. But the efficient work of the backs, led by Al Merck and goalie Joe Phelan, held the desperate Blue team without a score.
After a scoreless second stanza, the Elis went into the third quarter with a new fight, and before the final gun, they tallied twice and racked up seven first downs while holding the Lamarmen to three.
Yardage totals indicate a decided advantage for the Crimson who gained 227 yards to the Elis 184 and totaled 13 first downs to Yale's ten.
