...turning point, one of the more obvious of the season, came in the third period and eliminated an excellent chance to tie the score. Harvard took the kick-off opening the second half and went all the way to the Brown three. An unintentional clipping penalty stopped the attack, for the Crimson could never get moving after that. The Lowenstein-to-Henry "transcontinental" pass play produced Harvard's final touchdown...

Paul Hoffman made it clear that this measure had not gone very far to satisfy him. "There is no magic in words . . . the magic lies only in action," he said.
