...insufficiency of the cheer was never better shown than in the last few minutes of the game when time was precious and the eleven needed, if it needed anything, to be urged to quick, snappy play. Then the nervous, bubbling enthusiasm of the great south stand was throttled by those three long slow "Harvards" and nine slow "rahs," while even the band struck up "Fair Harvard" to the tune of a funeral dirge. For such occasions we want a quick, snappy yell--something inspiring and encouraging to nerve on our teams. I suggest that, before we forget the necessity...
...game on Saturday ended in a tie, neither side being able to score. Disappointing and unsatisfactory as the result was from one point of view, it was, for the spectator, the finest football game ever played.

Harvard's rushing could not be stopped by Yale, but the latter got the ball by offside play, and at once started to punt. Donald blocked the kick and the ball rolled outside with Hallowell after it. He missed, however, and Yale secured the ball. Then followed many kicks on each of which Campbell tackled the Yale backs for losses, and Daly and Sawin ran back McBride's punts...
