...drinks were kept to a minimum and Harvard was in the ball game. Very much so, in fact, despite Yale's early dominance and 7-0 advantage after Eli signalcaller Stone Phillips engineered a 43-yd., 11-play drive at the outset of the second quarter and capped the march himself by running five uninterrupted yards for the score...
