...execution of plays and the so-called hidden ball deception, Harvard is certainly more advanced, but deceptive plays are not so sure of success as a strong and powerful attack...
...open field work, such as running back kicks, etc., both are about equal, using practically the same methods in the Brown games. Yale virtually scored her touchdown against Princeton Saturday by a forward pass, and won the Colgate game by this method of attack, yet has not completed a forward pass against Brown for three years, while Harvard has been very successful against us with her passing game. The Yale line is heavier and has more power than Harvard and ought to be able to offset the quicker charge of the Crimson line. Defensively, this weight and power advantage ought...
...Yale team is as powerful in material as any eleven I have ever seen. From end to end it is a line of tremendous strength, one which should play a stonewall defence against any running attack. Its backfield is as good as any I have seen in years when it is going strong, as the backs I have witnessed--Legore, Carey, Bingham and Smith--are well set up, have a drive that carries them forward when tackled and are exceedingly difficult to down in the open.

...hard practice again before the Princeton game on Saturday. Jaques was back at full again and Callahan played centre. Both of these men played an excellent game. As a whole, the team's showing was better than it has been for some time and if the power of attack is as good on Saturday, the showing of the team will be of such a quality as to defeat Princeton without much difficulty...

All things considered, the rival lines had pretty much of an even break of it. The Harvard backfield, aside from kicking, was superior to the Princeton backfield. Harvard did her share of ballchanging and thimble...
