...Crimson players started a march down the field that seemed to presage a victory. Starting on their 45-yard line, Reynolds and Wendell made furious rushes to Yale's 25-yard line where Potter tried his last drop-kick.

The Yale backfield gets around the runner in good style and puts the defensive linemen out of play much better and surer than...
