As only one of the goal posts was in an upright position, Umpire Slocum had to raise the other and support it while Perry kicked a goal. Score, '89, 6; '88, 0.

Cumnock picked up the ball and made a beautiful rush, then dodging five Yale men, and securing a touchdown between the goal posts. Crane kicked the goal. Score: Harvard, 6; Yale, 2.
