Complete records in 12 sports in which Harvard and Yale teams have been engaged show that in the various series the University leads in seven, while Yale is ahead in five. The sports in which the Crimson excels are baseball, cross-country, hockey, lacrosse, indoor relay, soccer, and tennis. The victories credited to Yale are crew, football, golf, shooting, and track.
The figures in baseball are particularly interesting, since Yale has won 69 games to the University's 65, and yet yields the lead in the series to Harvard with 26 wins to 19 defeats.
Until 1916 the records in these sports were almost without a break, but during the war some event in every sport was omitted.
Since January 1, 1916, several changes have been made in the relative standing of the two universities in these sports. By Harvard's victory over the Elis in lacrosse in May, 1916, the tie was broken, and now the University holds three victories and two defeats to its credit. In track, also, the tie has been broken by a string of three consecutive victories for the Blue, which leaves the scores 15 to 12 in favor of Yale.
