...first half, the ball zigzagged back and forth near the centre of the field and, though Brown rushed farther than Harvard, Cutler's good kicking evened up matters. In the second half Brown outplayed Harvard, though several times the Freshmen got together and gained ground, only in most cases to lose it by a poorly executed forward pass.

Harvard gained more ground than Yale in the first half by 10 yards, even including the 18 yards covered by Veeder's forward pass which made...
