...either of which had the ability to gain through the other, ending the contest with such a one-sided score was certainly unusual. It is also seldom that a strong team is scored upon by a long run, yet there was one run of 74 yards straight through the line for a touchdown, and there were others similarly executed which, if not stopped by the man in the backfield, would have had the same result. With the exception of these plays and a few punts of extraordinary length, there was little of the spectacular. For the most part, the game...
...same time with lack of team-play, but nevertheless had a great influence on the game. It was fumbling which gave Yale its first chance for a touchdown; a fumble was largely to blame for the failure to score when the ball was on Yale's 7-yard line, offside lost a number of yards in penalties, and holding once caused the loss of the ball.

C. B. Marshall, in running the team, used admirable judgment, and by his work in the open, though his gains...
Only a short time at the beginning of the game was required to show the superiority of the Yale team, and within ten minutes the first touchdown was scored. During the remainder of the half, the two teams played very evenly until Metcalf broke through the line for his long run and a touchdown. The beginning of the second half found an increased stubbornness in the Harvard defense, but a corresponding growth of determination in the Yale eleven which soon produced another touchdown and destroyed all hopes in the Harvard team of stemming the tide of defeat. Another touchdown just...
