...Haven at 2 o'clock. 70,000 people will witness the start of the thirty-fourth game between the two universities since 1875, which will this year determine the championship of the East. The game will be distinctly a struggle for supremacy between two different styles of attack, inasmuch as critics concede the abilities of the men comprising either team to be practically equal. Should the double and triple lateral passes which Yale has so successfully promulgated this season result in victory, the wide open game, the worth the result that the runner has made a substantial gain through...
...game Saturday in the Bowl. The first team succeeded in scoring three touchdowns to the second eleven's one, Scovil scoring twice and Ainsworth once for the University team while Ovitt made the single touchdown of the opposing eleven. A formation drill which completed the final perfection of the attack followed the harder work of the afternoon and the men were sent to the locker building on a brisk run after a final half hour's rehearsal of signals...
...most one-sided game ever played in the history of the two academies Exeter decisively defeated Andover by the score of 78 to 7. In every department of the game Exeter was signally superior to its lighter opponents. The line effectually threw off the futile attacks of the Andover backfield while the Exeter attack, headed by Casey, marched down the field with a succession of terrific line plunges and forward passes and punts which gained ground on every exchange. Humiliated and bumbled, the Andover team was powerless on both the attack and defence...
Yale defeated Princeton Saturday in a game replete with the thrills of the spectacular runs and passes of the Yale eleven throughout the first three periods and the almost superhuman fight of the Princeton attack in the last quarter. Throughout the first three periods the Yale backs ripped the Princeton line to shreds, smashing through the opponents' defence for consistent gains of considerable length, baffling the New Jersey team with the double and triple lateral passes which she has so successfully advanced this year, and out punting Princeton on every exchange of kicks. The work of the backfield approached perfection...
...game showed that as yet Yale has not developed a man who can be depended on to kick field goals with any degree of accuracy. The line is undoubtedly inferior to the backfield, but the known weakness of the defence is rather offset by the brilliancy of the attack which combines so well the plunging power of the old fashioned game with the speed and versatility necessary in the more modern "open style" of game...
