It was a case of strategy and a thorough knowledge of the game being victorious over superior wind and strength...

Murphy ran the kick back five yards to his 44-yard line, and on the next play got two yards more through Fisher. The only successful forward pass of the game, one from Howe to Savage, gained six yards from Yale on the next...
