...first thing that looked like a break came five minutes after the game started when John Dean, Harvard punter, whose kicks averaged more than 47 yd., fumbled on his 45-yd. line. Yale recovered. Bob Lassiter. the black-haired North Carolinian who has been Yale's outstanding halfback this year, threw a pass to Dud Parker for a 25-yd. gain. Joe Crowley smashed through Harvard's left guard for 12 yd. With a first down on Harvard's 3-yd. line, it was three plays before Walter Levering splashed through tackle for the touchdown. Sullivan scuttled...
...brilliant, strategic football, sometimes a sort of exaggerated water-polo. Harvard's attack, with Jack Crickard running the ball three times out of four, got under way in the second period. Yale stopped it, as it had stopped Princeton's the week before, once in the 13-yd. line and again 2 yd. from the Yale goal.

He swam for half an hour, at last reached the beach 150 yd. away, crawled up cut and bleeding to make the line fast. It took three hours to get all hands ashore. Some of the crew's 15 Solomon Islanders could not swim, had to be helped along the line, hand over hand. Once the rope broke, plunged a man into the water. Captain...
