McCormick made a dash at Harvard's centre, but Dexter fell on him, and it was Yale's second down. Then came the first of McClung's brilliant rushes. Hinkey, Winter, Heffelfinger and the rest of the backs formed into a crescent in front of their captain, and the scythe-like formation rolled out around the left end. Hallowell and the other rushers were blocked off and McClung sprinted along the side till he reached Harvard's 20-yard line. It was an exhibition of beautiful interference...
Heffelfinger made a little hole which Bliss squeezed through for a slight gain. Then Winter essayed to get through Dexter and McClung around Hallowell's end.

The ball went low and struck Heffelfinger, who had broken through. It bounded off to the right and the Yale guard and Hallowell both made a dive for it. Hallowell got it and Harvard had the play again on Yale...
