Harvard Played Best.
Harvard played a better game than
did her opponents. Her game was
more consistent, but where yale
showed superiority over the crimson
was in her speedy team work and
ability to run down under punts and
her immense offensive and defensive
play in critical stages of the game.
Steady line plunging was HarVard's 4
strong point. Time and again she
crashed away at the blue line and al
most as many times she gained.

plunges at Harvard's line. But where
she excelled was in getting around the
