...almost where they had been baffled two years before, again could not carry the ball two yards to victory. And Yale, rarely changing her cool, defensive position, kept the ball out of danger by brilliant kicking. That Yale did not play to win was apparent. All during the second half, McBride's one effort was to keep possession of the ball and tie the game. In spite of the hardest kind of football, not a man on either team was forced to retire on account of injuries...
...kicking game; and the rushing, although irresistable at times, was erratic and ineffective in emergencies. This last means very little, however, when compared with Yale's general work. In the first half Harvard equalled Yale in punting, and, in rushing, made over three times as many yards. In the second half Harvard was greatly out-punted, but gained about two and a half times as much distance by rushing as Yale did. The chief reasons why McBride could not outkick Hallowell in the first half were that Sawin and Daly ran back his kicks for ten and fifteen yards...
...gained the ground. In eight successive plays he carried the ball to the three yard line, but on the ninth, when weakened by his exertions, he could not make the requisite two yards.

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. Parker took Sawin's place late in the game but did nothing remarkable...
During the whole of the second half, Yale played to prevent Harvard from scoring. Burnett kicked off and McBride punted to midfield. Yale gained on the next exchange, and finally secured the ball on Harvard's 40-yard line on a forward pass by Sawin to Kendall. Yale could not gain by rushing, and then the ball was passed back 20 yards to McBride in order to keep possession of it, and obtain first down. Again Yale began to rush the ball and this time with better success. Fresh halfbacks gained through the line at will, until Harvard took...
...intercollegiate cross country run on Saturday was won by Cornell's team with Yale second, Pennsylvania third, Columbia fourth and Princeton fifth. Cregan of Princeton, who won the individual prize, covered the course in 34 minutes and 5 and 2-5 seconds, which beats the record formerly held by Orton of Pennsylvania. A. Grant, captain of the Pennsylvania team, was a close second. Harvard was invited to take part in this contest, but declined owing to the short time which was allowed for training the long distance runners...
