A late-night altercation at the corner of York and Elm streets between Yale students and non-University affiliates following the Harvard-Yale game two weeks ago resulted in the handcuffing of at least one non-University affiliate at the scene. Between 2:00 and 2:30 a.m. on Nov. 18, a fight broke out between three Yale upperclassmen and roughly 10 unidentified...
From where we were in the stands, it was unclear what had happened. But the scoreboard made it clear. One drive in, the Bulldogs were already down. Fifty-nine minutes remained, but the tide never turned. I don’t need to remind Yalies of The Game — a game we’d all like to forget. But as our most important sporting event of the year, it would be inappropriate to pretend it...
It’s understandable that fans and alumni who traveled cross-country to watch our squad play — and lose 37-6 to Harvard — want to point fingers and say that Yale football failed. That’s human nature, and I, too, was angry and embarrassed. Trust me, it wasn’t the most fun reunion with my friend who plays for Harvard. But it isn’t fair to the coaches or players if the...
This year’s Harvard-Yale experience was full of hopeful waiting — fans waiting for a touchdown, alumni waiting to enter the parking lot and students waiting for buses to get to and from The Game. While most students interviewed thought the busing system was adequate, many also said they were at least a little frustrated with slow-moving lines and inefficiently organized...
Although Yalies encountered problems on the football field at this year’s Harvard-Yale game, they managed to steer clear of trouble at the tailgate.
The Game? More like The Embarrassment. In the most hyped edition of The Game since 1968, Harvard defeated Yale 37-6 the Saturday before Thanksgiving, putting an end to the Elis’ quest for their first perfect season in half a century. Yale came into the game as the heavy favorite, looking to go undefeated for the first time since 1960. But instead, it was Harvard that...

How did this venerable institution become so instantly recognizable? Football, my friends. We invented the modern game of college football.
So went The Game of 1968, widely regarded as the most dramatic Harvard-Yale football match the 124-year-old rivalry has ever seen. But this year’s Game, which will take place under eerily similar circumstances, may be a chance for the Bulldogs to correct history.
Many Yalies may not notice the difference, but a new, smaller Handsome Dan will be growling at the Cantabs at The Game this year.
ESPN announced Monday afternoon that its weekly program College Gameday will be on location covering the competition between No. 7 Ohio State and No. 23 University of Michigan. The Harvard-Yale game will be featured in a short segment during the telecast. While administrators and students said they are disappointed that The Game will not receive extensive national...
Although the Tigers dominated the Elis statistically last Saturday, Yale still managed to escape Princeton Stadium with a 27-6 win, marking the largest margin of victory over the Tigers in 17 years. The Bulldogs recorded 12 fewer first downs, 56 fewer rushing yards, and 89 fewer total yards than the Tigers. The Elis held the ball for only 11:58 in the first half, gained...
