Stillman kicked off for Harvard, and on the next play Craighead punted outside at the middle of the field. Baldwin began a rushing game, and varying end runs with an occasional plunge at centre, carried the ball rapidly down the field. Hersey ran twenty yards to the 10-yard line and then Yale made a short stand for two downs, but Hersey finally scored. Stillman missed this goal and five others, all of them easy...
