Ellis as usual hit the line hard and for many gains. When Harvard made her hardest attacks on Yale's line, Ellis gained the ground. In eight successive plays he carried the ball to the three yard line, but on the ninth, when weakened by his exertions, he could not make the requisite two yards. He was much more effective in backing up the centre than ever before. Early in the second half he was replaced by Reid, who punted well, and by his own determined spirit enabled the team to make that last brace that almost won the game...
...double passes and a mass play,--four five yard rushes, and then Yale made a stand. A final burst by Ellis, however, gave Harvard first down on Yale's eight-yard line. Again Ellis was sent into the line, with Donald pushing him, and finally, on the ninth trial, he failed to gain and Yale got the ball on downs. On McBride's punt out, Daly made a fair catch, and, after taking ten yards for interference, allowed Burnett to try an almost impossible goal instead of rushing. The goal was missed by several yards. The rest of the half...

Then followed five halved holes and Averill was dormie two. On the thirty-fifth, Pyne won, 5-6, and Averill was still dormie. Pyne scored an excellent three on the last while Averill took four because of a short drive. The match was now a tie. On the extra hole both were on the green in two, but Pyne scored...
...links of the Harvard Golf Club have necessarily been cut down to six holes. The first and second holes remain the same, the third has been abandoned, the fourth will be third, the seventh the fourth, and the eighth and ninth are to be the fifth and sixth respectively. The course as thus rearranged will be ready for play tomorrow...
