Yale turned its back on seven lean football years and dragged Harvard through three inches of Cambridge mud to a 13-0 defeat. Blinding rain fell. There were 26 fumbles and only two first downs. Both teams punted ceaselessly, seeking breaks of luck. Yale scored when " Duck" Pond picked up a fumble and ran 67 yards for a touchdown, when Captain Mailory kicked two goals from placement. The victory carries with it the so-called "Big Three" (Eastern) championship.

The heels of the Army mule became inextricably tangled in the horns of the Navy goat and the game at the Polo Grounds, Manhattan, ended in a scoreless tie. A heavy field robbed the game of spectacle. Coach John J. McEwan, Army, former all-American centre, paid tribute to his opponents thus: " The Navy team that was on the field against us to-day is the luckiest Navy team that ever played football."

Smarting under a defeat at the not particularly skillful hands of Colgate, the Syracuse eleven went west and knocked Nebraska down, 7-0. Vindication of Eastern football was the chief result of the game--since Nebraska had defeated Notre Dame, conqueror of Princeton, Georgia Tech, Army.
