Last Saturday, the line played well on the defence but did not appear to be able to open up holes for the backs on the attack. The offense lacked the drive and versatility which have made the University backfields of recent years justly famous. If the team can show this old time power today, Harvard's stock will take a big boost. Watson and Gilman will not be in the line-up which increases the severity of today's test...
...Washington and Jefferson defeated Yale at New Haven, this time to the score of 16 to 7. In contrast to other Saturday games, the contest was marked by the use of the wide-open game, the visiting team completely baffling the Blue with a much-varied and bewildering aerial attack. Yale seemed utterly unable to cope with the Washington and Jefferson attack, and at the same time was unsuccessful in breaking up their opponent's defense.

This opportunity came as the result of a blocked kick. Springfield depended largely upon an open attack and in the third period opened up a series of forwards which, for a time, completely bewildered the New Haven men. Yale tightened up in the crisis, however, and soon retaliated with similar play. Legore at fullback and Neville, who is taking Guernsey's place in the backfield, were...
