Again the Yale backs bucked the centre in vain; Upton, Newell and Finlay in turn prevented gains, and the ball came to Harvard on four downs.

Upton, Cranston, Newell and Hallowell all did good, steady work; Upton did some of the prettiest tackling seen on the field this year, and both he and Newell rushed with telling effect. Hallowell handled Leo easily; he never failed to get down the field when the ball was kicked, and effectually stopped every effort to send men around his end with the ball. Wesleyan forced Harvard...
