Princeton's first touchdown came soon after the start of the last quarter. On the next play, Lassiter caught the Princeton kick-off and ran 95 yd. to a touchdown. Yale got one more touchdown (eight in all) before a long forward pass from Purnell to Johnston scored again for Princeton. The game ended with Yale, still eager to make another touchdown for Booth, on Princeton's 18-yd. line...
...against Notre Dame, he had reason to be worried. Army lost to Notre Dame by one point last year, lost to Harvard the same way this year. In the last quarter, Stecker missed another kick for point after touchdown but this one mattered less. He had just run 68 yd. for Army's second touchdown which made the final score 12 to 0. Only once since 1917 has a Notre Dame team lost two games in succession. Bewildered, Notre Dame's Coach Heartley W.

Halfway through the quarter, another penalty for interference, on a pass from Mohler to Shaver, gave Southern California the ball on Notre Dame's 24-yd. line. In three plays Mohler & Shaver carried the ball to the loyd. line for another first down. This time Mohler dropped back and threw a lateral to Shaver who, circling his own left end, made 10 yd. and a touchdown, dragging a Notre Dame tackier across the goal line. When Baker, whose try for extra point after Southern California's first touchdown had been blocked, kicked the goal, it made the score...
What happened after that was so rapid, so out of keeping with what usually happens in Notre Dame games that 52,000 spectators who saw it found it hard to believe. Shaver threw two passes-one of 50 yd. to Sparling, another 23 yd. to Hall. Two downs later the ball was only 2 yd. nearer the goal. There were 60 seconds of the game left. Notre Dame, expecting another pass, saw Southern California's placekicker, Johnny Baker drop back to the 23-yd. line, saw the ball sail over the line of scrimmage, between the goal posts...
Booth tried to dropkick on the Harvard 14-yd. line early in the second quarter. A dejected little fellow, his mouth wide open, his eyes squinting, he watched his kick veer outside the east goalpost...
