From 1904 to 1907, the varsity managed to emerge with a win, a loss, and two ties. In 1908, Percy Haughton took command of the Crimson's football fortunes, and Harvard embarked on an era of renewed gridiron prominence. That fall the Crimson edged the Green, 6 to 0, and the next two clashes saw the varsity's margin grow to nine, and then 18 points...
...lapse lapse followed, until 1922, when the Crimson took up where it had stopped with a 12-3 victory over the Big Green. Dartmouth came back to win the next three encounters, achieving a decisive 32-9 triumph in 1925. The two teams split the next six games...

Then the Crimson countered with two triumphs in a row, by scores of 26 to 19 and 20 to 14, before the Indians reversed the trend by scoring a 13-7 win...

This year, the 1958 positions are reversed. The varsity, with its 1-1 League record, still has a shot at the Ivy title, while the Big Green has yet to win. Gundy will severely try the Crimson pass defense, and Crouthamel's running will keep the varsity honest. The 75-year old rivalry stands at 35 wins for Harvard, 24 for Dartmouth, and three ties. It will take the Crimson's best showing of the season to make it 36 today...
