...CRIMSON supposes that when this custom was inaugurated it was reasoned that the members of a second team, more particularly in baseball perhaps than in football, have practically no chance of earning the "H" which almost every man on the first squad under certain conditions might receive. As some reward is due them the "H 2nd" was devised and the substitutes for the first team were considered to have enough chance for reward sooner or later without any further complexity of insignia...
...Seniors won the upperclass championship by defeating the Sophomores on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon by the score of 21 to 6. The Seniors displayed a more finished game and advanced the ball almost at will. The Sophomores played on the defensive during nearly all of the first half, and could gain only towards the end of the game when the Seniors put in a number of substitutes.

...will probably be only for a short period. In many respects it is a novel year. No Yale team ever started a season with a brighter outlook. The material was splendid, mostly veteran players.

It was an individual on this order that imagined the "authoritative statement that Coach Haughton had consented to serve for several...
...beginning of the second half the Seniors advanced from their own 15-yard line almost the whole length of the field, losing the ball on an unsuccessful forward pass on the Sophomores' 15-yard line. From this point 1911 worked the ball back to their opponents' 35-yard line, where the ball changed hands on downs. The Seniors later recovered a fumble on the Sophomores' 30-yard line and advanced the ball to the 10-yard line, where the Sophomores got possession of it as the half ended...
