...third game in a row, the Bulldogs managed to put away an opponent in the first half, as Yale took a 24-3 into halftime and a 41-10 lead into the fourth quarter. Columbia scored three touchdowns in garbage time to make the final score look close. Bartholomew rushed for two touchdowns and a season-high 131 yards on 27 carries to lead the Yale offense. The win put the Elis into a five-way tie for first in the Ivy League...
...then Yale scored the game-winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter on the legs of its quarterback. With the ball on the Penn 47-yard-line, Walland fumbled a snap but managed to recover and gain 18 yards on the broken play. On the next play, with nothing but open field in front of him on a play-action pass, Walland kept the ball and rushed in from 29 yards out for the game-winning score...

Bartholomew rushed for a touchdown and 123 yards on 28 carries to lead...

...difference in the game turned out to be point-after conversions. Princeton kicker Taylor Northrop, who had already hit a game-tying 52-yard field goal at Harvard, was unable to kick either of his two extra-point attempts. That meant Princeton had to make a two-point conversion to tie the game after scoring its final touchdown. But Princeton's pass to the end zone was incomplete, securing the Yale victory and placing the Bulldogs one win away from their first Ivy title in ten years...
