Handsome Dan XVIII, the current mascot for the Yale Bulldogs, might have had a fine day at Boston's Fenway Park. But the 143rd Harvard-Yale meeting had a little bite for both teams. Yale suffered a 45-27 defeat after winning the rivalry game the past two years. And while Harvard won The Game for the 15th time in the past 18 years, the Crimson saw quarterback Tom Stewart carted off the field (after passing for 312 yards and three touchdowns) late in the game with a right hip injury.
