Half of the Harvard squad, traveling up to Governor Dummer, triumphed over the preps 7 to 5, also on Saturday.

Several spurts of power netted the win which closed the Crimson's season with a .500 average. The Red and White scored first, but Angle, who scored four point. Harvard then traded goals until the end of the half, which closed with a sudden cloudburst.
