...last minute of the first half, Harvard had the ball on Yale's seven-yard line. A delayed pass from Pope to Minot was tried but it fell short, and neither Minot nor any other player touched the ball.

Pope's pass was distinctly forward, and, as no man touched it before it struck the ground, Harvard should have retained possession of the ball and been penalized 15 yards, according to the rules...
With the exception of one player, M. C. Peirce, every man on the University team, who played against Brown on Saturday, was given a lay-off from practice yesterday.

In the coming games the team will have a chance to prove that the slump was only temporary, and if every player enters upon the games with the same fighting spirit which cropped out Saturday toward the end of the second half, Harvard can only be defeated by a better team...
