They started well against Foster Sanford's Rutgers Eleven, which was supposed to be able to show even more than last year's team in the power of the new attack devised by the old Yale coach. Rutgens' attack did gain ground--two first downs in succession on one occasion--but it could not prevail in the end against the dashing play by Princeton. It was conservatism in which everything was staked on one form of attack on one form...
...start, it took two to four men to stop him. Bradlee was not used much on the offence. The game was not of the type to best display his abilities.

...should be, it was very potent once it got started, and altogether excellent for so early in the season. When it is considered that the eleven is still in its infancy in this department, which does not reach its greatest efficiency until late, the prospects for a powerful attack are unusually bright...

Ainsworth and Knowles, the veteran halfbacks, and Wilson, last year's quarter, contribute experience...
