...team has new been practically picked for the class games, and most of the time has lately been devoted to perfecting the plays. The team started the season with very encouraging prospects, as almost all of last year's eleven were available for positions; but the progress so far has not been as rapid as was expected. The team as a whole is not aggressive enough; the men do not make the most of their opportunities. On the defence there is a distinct weakness in breaking through and on the offense the interference is slow in starting and runs...
...fall track games. The ten divisions are very evenly matched, both as to numbers and ability so that the Freshman games promise to be very interesting. The good men are well scattered, no two being in the same section, thus making the result of the contest rest almost entirely upon second and third places...

Furthermore a large meeting of undergraduates would be far more enthusiastic and would most likely produce greater results than...

Fultz's men broke through the Yale line almost at will and ran up a total score of 14 points, scoring three touchdowns against the home team, the largest score ever made on a Yale field against a Yale eleven. Yale secured no more touchdowns than did the visitors but her goal-kicker guard Cadwalader was successful in every trial for goal, while Hall, who made the attempt after the Brown touchdown, failed in all but one chance...
