...preparatory to sending Lake behind the wedge, the excitement was almost painful, it was so intense. The ball was snapped back and there was a moment's silence. The two lines came together and the V began to break up. Then a mighty shout went up from Harvard's side of the field, for Lake had forged out to the right, and had advanced the ball ten yards before he was weighted down by a wriggling, pushing, hauling mass of humanity. The men were up in a moment, and now the rushers were face to face. The ball went back...
...again Trafford kicked. Morison muffed the ball, but Hartwell was quicker than the Harvard ends and secured it. Owing to the tackling of Cumnock and Lake Yale could not gain a foot, and the ball came back to Harvard on four downs. Then Rhodes was caught off side, and Harvard given five yards in consequence.

It was a virtual victory for Harvard. The mighty Yale...
Harvard Wakes Up.Harvard now began a very aggressive game. Lake gamed eight yards around the end; and Coroett went through the centre for five yards. Upton failed to gain because S. Morison was off-side, but for the same reason Harvard got five yards. A punt by Trafford gave McClung a chance to muff. He did so, and quick as flash, Hallowell had picked up the ball; he ran forty yards and scored a touchdown. The umpire decided, however, that Cumnock's interference had been unfair, and the ball was brought back to the centre. For some time neither team...
