...perhaps realized how marked was the superiority which Yale showed over Princeton. Against Harvard, Princeton was able to rush the ball in the first period for long and consistent gains. Against Yale she could make no material headway. Against Harvard, Princeton had at least five chances when she had the ball in striking distance of Harvard's goal. Against Yale she had but two, and one of these would hardly have been considered as a scoring opportunity had not Baker, receiving the pass on Yale's 42-yard line, kicked a goal from the field far more difficult than three...
...next thing that will be noticed is that when Yale has the ball it adopts a formation which is practically an entirely new development in modern football. Curiously enough, this has been little commented on, but none the less it is novel and the most striking things about the Yale offence. Ordinarily the scrimmage line of the team in possession of the ball is without material gaps between the players from end to end. The Minnesota shift, while seemingly an exception to this statement, is in fact not so, because when the men assume their final positions prior...
Though entering the game a pronounced favorite, Princeton was lucky to emerge from the Yale contest on Saturday with a 3 to 3 tie. The Tiger eleven was plainly outplayed, having the ball within striking distance of the Yale goal only twice, and being saves from defeat by a beautiful 43-yard drop from the toe of Captain Baker. Yale, on the other hand, was constantly a menace, and managed to keep the ball in Princeton's territory most of the time. In addition to his successful drop from the 30-yard time, Guernsey missed three others, none of them...
Just a year ago today, as the football world records, the 1916 Freshman foot- ball team won its victory over Yale, 18 to 17. And the only fitting way for 1917 to celebrate the anniversary of that famous game is for every man in the class to be at the Freshman game this after- noon. The story of last year's contest will not soon be forgotten here, for it was only an uphill fight against tremendous odds that gave Harvard the victory. In the first seven minutes of the game, Yale had scored 14 points; with only a minute...
...than the first. The only score herein came on the first play when Hardwick recovered a fumbled punt on the seconds' 10-yard line and dashed across for a touchdown. The punt was a long one by Mahan, which Freedley muffed badly, Hardwick being the only man near the ball when he recovered it. Thereafter, the contest was largely one of kicking with the ball never long in either eleven's possession. Brickley barely missed two tries at goal, one from placement following a fair catch on the 45-yard line, and the other a drop from the 35-yard...
