Executing plays with the precision and punch that forced Dartmouth to yield two weeks ago, Mike Bassett took Harvard 66 yards in 10 plays for a touchdown late in the first period.

Creelman had the Harvard defender, Bill Grana, beat by a good step, and when Kelly let go with a near perfect strike, everyone in the Stadium thought Dartmouth had its second touchdown of the afternoon.
