...started with 1901 in possession of the ball. A strong wind was blowing directly against the Freshmen and prevented them from gaining ground on punts as '99 often did. Hallowell kicked off and '99 returned the punt. Again 1901 kicked but failed to gain ground and the ball was almost on 1901's line.

It was clear that on the whole the Yale team was the weaker...
