Daly's work in the back-field was good and perhaps the best part of his game. The Yale team showed so much unexpected strength that his plan of attack required complete and constant changes some of which were open to slight criticism. Sawin was decidedly the best halfback in the game. He played in perfect accord with Daly, and clipped many yards off of McBride's punts by his clever, dodging runs. He made the longest gain of the day by a 33 yard run around Gibson in the first half. The end plays and double passes around...
...yards. He was much more effective in backing up the centre than ever before. Early in the second half he was replaced by Reid, who punted well, and by his own determined spirit enabled the team to make that last brace that almost won the game.

...game began at 2.05. Francis kicked off for Yale and Daly returned the kick, gaining 10 yards. On the first down, McBride punted to Daly, who then took up the rushing game.

Again Yale began to rush the ball and this time with better success. Fresh halfbacks gained through the line at will, until Harvard took...
...yard line where it was lost on a fumble. McBride punted out of danger and Daly ran it back fifteen yards. Reid punted, and again Fincke fumbled to Hallowell. Time was nearly up, and Harvard was held for two downs on Yale's 15-yard line. Unfortunately, Sawin was out of the game, and Hallowell had to try for the goal. He missed, and the whistle blew for the end of the game...
