"Watchful waiting," with Harte's interception of a forward pass in the last few minutes of play, gave Harvard a 7 to 0 victory over M. A. C. The same well-known policy proved lucrative in the next game, in which Carlisle was sent home with a 29 to 7 defeat. Two of the University's four touchdowns came as a result of that...
