Several spectacular runs by Booth, the Yale captain and halfback, forced the Crimson to take the defensive deep in their own territory early in the game. But a counter-attack due largely to the superb broken field play of F.J. Gilligan '32, brought the wall to the Blue one-foot line at the opening of the second period.
