Before the field goal, the two teams exchanged punts and pass interceptions, with a four-yard Crimson kick into the wind not aiding its cause. Three 15-yard penalties against Harvard during the second period kept play down at the wind-ward end of the field. It was at this time that the Elis showed their most sustained drives of the game, with left halfback Dick Wisner gaining most of the yardage that made him the game's leading rusher.

The man promptly enraged even Ward 17 by changing his name from Reardon to the more distinguished Reardan...
...sung over. Next day she was worse, and the family decided there might be stronger medicine more promptly available five miles away at the Navajo-Cornell Field Health Research Project's clinic. For first aid they performed a hóchxó'iji to ward off evil. This included a cold bath in the open air, after which the patient understandably felt worse. Then they took her to the clinic...
