...offensive the Yale eleven was unable to gain at any time and only twice had any chance whatever of scoring. Once in the first half, Stillman fumbled one of Craighead's punts, and offside by Harvard on the succeeding play gave Yale the ball on Harvard's 30-yard line. Again in the second half, both Baldwin and Stillman fumbled a punt and Wallace ran to the fifteen yard line before he was downed. Yale could not gain by direct rushing, however, and in the second half, Craighead's drop-kick for a goal was blocked and Yale's only...

Only one short half of about twenty minutes was played, the first eleven scoring three times. McGrew and Derby were back again on the field, but only the former played against the second. There were three or four changes in the line-up, but these may not be permanent. McDonald was put at left end, McGrew back at left tackle, Riggs in Jones's place at right guard and Swann...
