For the second time in the game Yale
stood in the desperate crisis OF fourth
down with several yards to go. Although
Harvard's goal line was only twenty
five yards away and within easy kicking
distance, again Yale aimed for a touch
down and not for goal from the field.
O'Hearn shot a forward pass OF ten

Harvards 2O' yard line for a first down.

O'Hearn was sent back to Harvard's

bar for three points.
