...Haven, Conn., November 8, 1909. --The first team was given a long secret signal practice today, after which all the men that played in the Brown game on Saturday were excused.

A short forward pass, Gardner to Carr, scored a touchdown for Harvard. Lewis kicked a difficult goal. Wendell ran the kick-off back 20 yards. Felton kicked to Melican, who was downed by Carr for no gain. A forward pass to Sibley gained 10 yards, but the next play, also a forward pass...
