...Buckler who has the opposition baffled. He has turned into a rip-snorting, tearing, slippery half-back, not content with his power on the run, but also must be able to pass at full speed. It is this last ability that has amazed the critics and should be one of the highlights today. Harvard's pass defence has improved fast in the Dartmouth and Leigh games, or rather, the latter teams have been unable to complete passes. Shoat was a dominating factor in hurrying the passers, and his absence will be keenly felt. He has a capable successor in White...

...first play Crickard fumbled on his own 25-yard line. Yale recovered the ball on Harvard's 25-yard line. Crowley failed to gain. On the next play the brilliant Yale right half-back did better, gaining 10 yards for a first down on Harvard's 15-yard line. A play by Lassiter planted the ball with 10 yards to go for a touchdown. Lassiter again carried, gaining about a yard...
