...Often he broke through and prevented Yale's backs from making any gain. The ball was now on Yale's twenty yard line, and Trafford tried for a goal from the field, but the wind was against him and he failed. A short time after the ball had been put in play he tried again, and again failed. Yale had scarcely put the ball in play, when Dibblee broke through the line, secured Barbour's pass, and running twenty yards scored a touchdown at 3.30. Goal. Score Harvard 18, Yale 0.

...withdrawing hurt rather than bettered her position? The answer to one question is the answer to both. The trouble with Princeton has no don't called out an expression of much needless ill-feeling.
