...again received the kickoff, but lost the ball on downs at the centre of the field. Yale punted to Harvard's 8-yard line, secured the ball there on holding and on a third, down Leavenworth circled left end, by a trick play, for a touchdown. Twitchell failed to kick the goal...

It was really an unusually close contest and up to the last five minutes of play seemed almost certain to end in a victory for Dartmouth. Each team had scored one touchdown, but Harvard had failed to kick goal, and with the score at 6 to 5 Dartmouth was pushing steadily down the field for what seemed sure to be another touchdown.

Mills followed with a run of 34 yards through left guard, but failing to use his interference in an intelligent manner was tackled from behind at Dartmouth's 42-yard line. The next play was the last, and Kernan broke clear on a play outside of right tackle and, dodging cleverly...
