62	December 1, 1945	Yale	28–0	Yale Bowl, New Haven	Harvard did not restart its football program until shortly after VJ-Day, after Yale had already closed its 1945 schedule. It was agreed that Yale would add Harvard at the end of its schedule on December 1 (the only time the two teams played a December game) - with the location being at the Yale Bowl - reversing the tradition in place since 1897 that games in odd years would be played at Harvard's field, while games in even years would be played at Yale. Since the 1945 game, games in odd years would be played at the Yale Bowl and games in even years would be played at Harvard Stadium.
