Harvard bests Yale in 'The Game'

Crimson clinches fifth Ivy League title

The Harvard football team clinched its fifth Ivy League title outright with a 35-3 decisive dismissal of visiting Yale in the 121st edition of "The Game" on Saturday (Nov. 20) at the stadium. The Crimson earned a share of the championship a week ago with a 31-10 win over then-undefeated Penn, yet in beating the Elis (5-5; 3-4 Ivy), Harvard takes sole possession of the title and keeps its perfect season intact. The Crimson finish the 2004 campaign at 10-0 (7-0 Ivy) - the program's seventh untied, unbeaten season in its 131-year history. The Quakers, meanwhile, beat Cornell, 20-14.
