1912 DEFEATED YALE, 6 TO 0

The Harvard Freshman football team defeated the Yale freshmen at New Haven Saturday by the score of 6 to 0. This is the first Freshman football game won from Yale since 1903, when the Freshman team of the class of 1907 defeated Yale by the score of 17 to 6. The Harvard team outplayed their opponents in every respect, displaying fine team work, while Yale depended mainly upon the individual work of a few exceptionally good men.

Towards the end of the first half, Harvard carried the ball nearly the entire length of the field for a touchdown. Pierce scored from the 10-yard line and Frothingham kicked the goal. Yale showed decided improvement at the beginning of the second half. They advanced the ball forty yards by straight rushing, in which Messenger made the greatest gains. This was followed by an exchange of punts. Yale took the ball again near the middle of the field and rushed it to Harvard's 20-yard line. A place kick was tried, but Smith who held the ball fumbled, and Pierce recovered the ball for Harvard. Yale did not have another change to score. Harvard carried the ball to Yale's 20-yard, line, where Winston made an unsuccessful try for a field goal. The game ended with the ball in Harvard's possession on Yale's 30-yard line.
