Harvard defends the belt, 13–6, at home over Tufts.
Where this game sits in the lineage
Harvard came in 714 days into reign #33, which began with a win over Princeton, with 15 defenses already behind it; this was its 16th defense. Harvard went on to defend it 9 more times before Cornell took it on October 23, 1915, 1,085 days after the reign began.
For Tufts this was its 6th shot at the belt; it had never held the belt. It still hasn’t: 6 attempts in all, every one of them a loss or a tie.
This is the only time Harvard and Tufts have met with the belt on the line.

Written by Claude, strictly from this site’s own record of the game — the score and what it meant for the belt. CFBD doesn’t have a box score for games this old, so nothing here is invented beyond what’s verifiably on file.
