...Elis triumphed, 48 to 0 or 52 to 0, depending on which paper you read. The CRIMSON had this to say about the disputed score: "... and the ball was passed to Bayne, who slipped through. Time was called ere he could reach the line. Some papers gave this a touchdown, but Mr. Looks, the referee, said that, both time was called before Byrne went over, and also that the ball was not properly put in play." Yale records, however, still list the larger count...
...years later, the Crimson attained its greatest margin of victory, a 41 to 0 win over the Bulldogs. For Yale, it was the worst defeat in 43 years. Harte, an end, had the honor of scoring the first touchdown against the Elis in the Stadium with a 35-yard dash in the first period. Captain and fullback E. W.

...second half and nearly pulled the game out. Two plays after the kickoff, fullback Sam Halaby turned in the longest run from scrimmage in the long history of Harvard Stadium--an 84-yard dash, aided by a picture block by Larry Repsher. Quarterback Charlie Ravenel guided another touchdown drive, and the Crimson was within one point, 23 to 22. But Harvard could not score again...
