...taken on a much more serious aspect this week. Coach Shevlin has arrived at New Haven to assist in the work and Captain Talbott is once more on the field. He expects to resume his position at left tackle today. Stillman and LeGore took a rest yesterday and Ainsworth was shifted to the second team, Waite taking his place at left halfback. The team is following the ball much better than it did last week and its line work has also improved...
...intermingled with a series of double and triple passes that completely baffled the Western team. Notre Dame resorted to continual forward passing, but the Yale men had been taught a destructive defense for this open style of play and intercepted nearly all of the loser's attempts.

Ainsworth and Knowles, the veteran halfbacks, and Wilson, last year's quarter, contribute experience and dependability to a backfield which has acquired increased efficiency through the addition of LeGore, the sensational player of last year's Freshman's team, who, at fullback has proved his value as a plunger...
