...yards, 5 rushes being made without gain and 2 for a loss. Yale rushed 28 times with a total gain of 164 yards. Twice Yale failed to gain and three times was thrown for a loss. A series of 19 straight rushes by Harvard netted 43 yards. Yale's longest continuous series consisted of 11 rushes for a distance of 38 yards to a touchdown. The only long run made during the half was that of 73 yards through the Harvard line by Metcalf for a touchdown...

Three of the touchdowns were made on straight rushing and one on a kick blocked behind the second team's goal line.
