LeMoyne's poor showing in punting was largely due to Parkinson's erratic passing. A synopsis of the ground gained by the two teams shows bow large a part punting played in Yale's victory. Although Harvard gained by straight rushing 130 yards more than Yale, Yale on punting gained 230 yards more than Harvard...

From here Derby and Schoellkopf gained five more yards and offside play by Yale brought the ball to the 8-yard line. On the next play Nichols was tackled while trying...
...back Mitchell's punt nine yards. After four yards more around Rafferty, Harvard punted again to Yale's 40-yard line. Metcalf in an end play fumbled the ball and LeMoyne dropped on it. Marshall then on a quarterback run, got clear of the line and gained twenty-five yards, but was brought down by Metcalf. One more yard was gained, and time was called with the ball in Harvard's possession on Yale's 20-yard line. Score--Yale, 5; Harvard...
