...forward pass Bride got the ball and ran back five yards to Yale's 52-yard line, but the ball was taken back because it touched the ground. Roome made five yards and Morse added two more through centre. T. Jones made a yard end run, being tackled hard. Roome broke through the line for five yards and Veeder failed to gain. Yale was penalized 15 yards for holding. Veeder was thrown back three yards, and then punted out of bounds on Harvard's 20-yard line, the ball going to Harvard...

The first half of the season closed with a splendid contest against Pennsylvania State. Yale's goal was frequently in danger, but the strength of the defense at critical times was the redeeming feature. Yale was victorious...
