...intercollegiate cup, presented to the league by E. A. Caswell, will be held one year by the winning team. In order to gain permanent possession of it, however, a team must win it for ten successive years.

Murphy ran the kick back five yards to his 44-yard line, and on the next play got two yards more through Fisher. The only successful forward pass of the game, one from Howe to Savage, gained six yards from Yale on the next...
