...genuine try-outs of the team's strength. The eleven has been completely made over both in line-up and style of play and today's game should go far to show whether the Yale team lacked strong material or merely needed a shake-up and change in its attack...
...gone, and the linemen of this year will have to rely on themselves. But Storer and Hitchcock at tackles, and Pennock, Trumbull, Mills and the other men trying for the centre trio are not of such calibre that they can alone meet a heavy, well-organized and concentrated attack. They are all average, and very average at that, and the slender margin of superiority in line work established last year by Parmenter's generalship has vanished...
Although the low score was due largely to the improved and more systematic work of the second team, the first team's work suffered from the substitution of three new men in the very centre of the attack. Soucy, Weston and Cowen give bright promise of becoming valuable players after more experience, but the trio, at present, is too weak for the middle of the line, where the powerful drive of the first string men was missing yesterday...
Pennock, though on the field in his clothes, was again absent from the line-up, his place being filled by Weston and Mills. The latter plays rather high on the line, and in general shows rack of training. Yet he is very heavy, firm under attack, and has lots of grit and muscle. Under the tuition he is receiving from Bob Fisher and the Withingtons, his work should show vast improvement in the course of a couple of weeks Soucy appeared at centre during about half of the scrimmage, and also showed a lack of acquaintance with the fine points...

Toward the end of strengthening the latter, much time is being spent on developing the forward pass and open play...
