...Granger gave Harvard a comfortable--if not unbeatable--27-0 lead, as he scored after a run of over twenty yards by the quarterback and rushing by Granger and Timothy McGugan. McGugan was an important factor in the first half, but during the second, Paul Golitz, and quarterback Joe Lahti and Jack Riordan joined him as key players in the Harvard's offense...
...second half was very much like the first--Harvard scored, and scored, and scored.

With the clock now working against them, the Crimson offense needed some help, and they got it from the Yale defense. A pass interference call against a Yale cornerback gave Harvard a first down on the Yale 25. From there Lahti connected with Dan Bowles to the Eli 5.

Another Abate PAT gave Harvard the margin of victory...
