Wretched work in the back field by Stillman and Baldwin gave Yale a chance to score, which they could not take advantage of, however, on account of Harvard's strong defense.

For the rest of the game the Harvard backs tore up the Yale line for steady five and ten yard rushes and gained two more touchdowns...

Yale scored again in the first half on Sharpe's goal from the 45 yard line...
