Dartmouth has played Yale off & on for 48 years without winning once, but this year there seemed to be a chance. In four starts, Yale had not won a game. In the Yale Bowl, where the jinx against Dartmouth is strongest, Yale squeaked through on Callan's touchdown, 6 to 0.

In a dull, well-played game between Columbia and Cornell, there were two exciting moments: one when Montgomery, fresh at the start of the game, shot a 30-yd. pass to Matal, who carried it for a touchdown; and one when Montgomery, with an injured leg, was sent back in the last quarter to kick out of danger from behind Columbia's goalline. The kick traveled 68 yd., kept Columbia's 6-to-0 lead safe till the game was over.
Brown, fresh from beating Yale, rattled off two long touchdown marches against Harvard, 14 to 0, caused Providence journalists to dig up a joke they had not used since 1926, about the old brown juggernaut.
