Harvard Fumbles Allow Wesleyan 10 to 17 Loss in Game
Harvard was outplayed by Wesleyan 17 to 6 in the halves of 15 minutes, with Harvard scoring all three first-half points while Wesleyan pulled ahead in the second half on a fumble return and strong running. The Wesleyan defense stifled Harvard’s ends, and tricks helped Wesleyan move the ball, while Harvard showed poor team follow-through and a weak push by the line.
