The ball had reached Yale's S-yard line

line, and Metcalf ran back Is yards be-
fore he was downed. Three plays with

up the field for 80 yards Glass and Kin
ney broke through the line and Glass
helped the runner by dragging him along
until Harvard's 13-yard line was reached.
Then Metcalf was given the ball, and
again Glass made an opening. He caught
