Yale showed individual work only occasionally. Fincke made a seventy yard run after recovering a fumbled punt, but even in this the reliable team play of the Yale eleven gave him the interference which made it possible. At another time Coy knocked down a pass from one Harvard player to another and ran forty yards for a touchdown, but he also received valuable aid from the rest of the team.
