...Harvard team was outweighed by 15 pounds. On the offensive, however, the 150's found it impossible to make any gains through the heavy Huntington line, and it was only when a Huntington line, and kick was blocked and the ball recovered by the speedy end, Crocker, on the one-yard line, that the Harvard quarter-back, Dearborn, was able to put it over for a touchdown.

They always do what is least expected, even when on Harvard's one-yard line. So, wizard though I do not mind being called, I am a bit worried about this Yale-Army business. I'm going to dope it a tie--at any rate I can only be half wrong...
