...game opened by Terry kicking off for Yale. After a fine rush by Farwell, and also one by Terry, in fourteen minutes from the opening of the game, Stevens Institute made a safety touchdown. Two minutes later Bertron made the first touchdown for Yale, from which Terry kicked a goal for Yale. Soon after Terry made two touchdowns, but failed to kick a goal.
