...chair at the University, with a large lobby and waiting area decorated with choice artwork, generous plaques and panoramic photography of Harvard football. Nearly every piece on the four walls of the lobby is related to the Harvard-Yale game; a painting of a Harvard receiver pulling down a pass against a Yale defender; a faded black-and-white photographer's rendering of the 1911 Harvard-Yale game; a blown-up snapshot of Harvard's championship celebration two seasons ago after a 17-7 win against Yale. Buried in the corner, near a side entrance to the field house...
...game went according to form for about 57 minutes, with slightly favored Yale maintaining a 29-13 lead. Then the poetry began at Soldiers Field. Harvard scores, but fails on the two point conversion, remaining 10 points behind. No wait, pass interference--a second opportunity proves worthy; Yale 29, Harvard 21, 42 seconds remaining. Onside kick. Harvard recovers, quickly drives down the field. Three seconds remaining, eight yard line. On the final play, Gatto catches touchdown pass for the score. Down two, no time remaining. Two point conversion successful, game ends in 29-29 tie. Both Harvard and Yale finish...

On the next play, with nothing but open field in front of him on a play-action pass, Walland kept the ball and rushed in from 29 yards out for the game-winning score...

That meant Princeton had to make a two-point conversion to tie the game after scoring its final touchdown. But Princeton's pass to the end zone was incomplete, securing the Yale victory and placing the Bulldogs one win away from their first Ivy title in ten years...
...After Harvard fell behind 21-7 and turned the ball over on three consecutive possessions in the third quarter, it looked as if the game was lost for the Crimson. But then strong safety Mike Madden picked off a pass from Colgate quarterback Ryan Vena to set up a Crimson score. Then with 1:18 left, Wilford hit receiver Kyle Cremarosa from 33 yards out to tie the game. But Colgate drove 66 yards from the Harvard 15-yard-line in the final minute to set up the game-winning field goal, killing the Crimson comeback...
