...weeks preceded the disastrous game in New York when Cornell so easily defeated the Providence team by the score of 28 to 7. But there is something to be said for the team's showing in this contest. An inexperienced line was hardly capable of stopping the attacks of the heavy Cornell backfield, and the stage-fright incident to a big game proved a serious handicap. The attack of the light backfield was fairly good, while the forward passing game was played to more advantage than by any other team to date. The use of this latter phase...
...week's practice has considerably strengthened the line, and a double and triple lateral pass that has proved decidedly effective thus far Yale looks forward to a victory. The line is inexperienced, and consequently the chances of success depend as much on its unknown ability to stop the Princeton attack as upon the known brilliancy of the Yale backfield. It is certain that the backfield is decidedly superior in every way to the Princeton combination.

But while her attack had improved remarkably and her defence to a somewhat lesser extent the splendid showing of the Brown eleven was due in a large measure to the weakness of the Yale line. The playing of Captain Talbott strengthened the forward defence perceptibly, but upon his withdrawal the men seemed unable to put up a concerted opposition to the opponents' attack. Time and again the Brown backfield, headed by Murphy, slipped through holes for consistent gains. Yale used a substitute backfield...
...record of the games played to date shows five victories and one tie. The victories have all been by narrow margins, but the attack of the University eleven can hardly be blamed for this fact, as the policy has been to develop team play rather than waste energy in trying to roll up big scores. The opening contest was with Rutgers, and Princeton won by the score of 12 to 0. Bucknell was defeated the next week by 10 to 0, and then the team entered upon two hard mid-season games in preparation for the struggle with Dartmouth. Syracuse...
...shaken Brown eleven this afternoon at New Haven. The Vermont men forced Brown to uncover everything she had last Saturday and then was barely defeated in a game characterized by loose and erratic playing. After this poor showing, Brown is expected to take and easy victim to the blue attack...
