Although Carnegie and Holy Cross had teams that from reports of early practice, appeared formidable, they were easily whitewashed by Yale and Princeton on Saturday. Legore's phenomenal playing was the feature of the Eli attack, which consisted of straight playing throughout the contest, Driggs, with his exceptional punting and powerful line-plunging, was the star of the Princeton backfield, while the Tiger line gave an exceptional account of itself...
According to the officers of his regiment the attack started at 3 o'clock in the morning. Maxwell's captain reported that at four o'clock he was seen "wounded in the face but still organizing bombing attacks and handing over prisoners"; and an hour later, as reported by his sergeant, he was "very hard pressed but still fighting on." The ground was bitterly contested and the dead were buried hastily at night, without the usual opportunity to search them for identification. The battalion entered the battle eleven hundred strong, of whom only 98 answered roll call that night. Maxwell...

...secondary school in the Middle West, who had not seen big Eastern teams in action in many years, gave to the Tigers something they had lacked since 1899, a dependable ground-gaining system. It would be blinking the situation to assume that Princeton, win or lose, will have an attack which will give pause to her strongest opponents. Certainly, he has the material to work with. In Driggs he has a punter good for any distance up to sixty yards, and a man who showed late last season that he knows how to turn the ends. In Tibbott...
