...Yale football team, showing the effects of last week's drills and secret practices, defeated Syracuse on Saturday 21-0 without the help of either Captain Spalding or Bomeisler. The Yale team used the old-fashioned, plunging game, and was especially proficient in following the ball, Avery recovering it twice on the Syracuse 30-yard line...
From the moment the ball landed in Captain Wendell's arms after the first kickoff, there was not a doubt as to the outcome of the game. He carried it in from the 10-yard line to within five yards of the centre of the field. From there 10 rushes sufficed to carry the ball straight over the line for a touchdown, after which Hitchcock kicked the goal. In this march down the field Wendell, H. Hardwick, and Brickley shared honors, the first being given the ball on the final plunge thus scoring his first touchdown for the year...
Holy Cross kicked off again, this time to Hardwick on the 15-yard line, and he imitated Wendell for 20 yards. The latter then rushed 10 yards for first down placing the ball on his 45-yard line.

It looked like another score, but Holy Cross held on the 2-yard line and punted out. Brickley tried a goal from the 30-yard line on a fair catch but the ball went wide. Holy Cross scrimmaged from her 20-yard line, but, as O'Brien was thrown for a loss of 10 yards, a punt was needed...
...into hard scrimmages every day. Captain Spalding has been resting because of slight stomach trouble, but he will surely play in today's game with Syracuse. Bomeisler, the all-American end, will be out of the game for at least two weeks. The rudimentary drills with dummy and ball have been excessively long. Yesterday afternoon the freshmen were scrimmaged, and Warren, right tackle, was cut about the face. He will play in today's game, nevertheless...
