...team as a whole at fault but there were many examples of poor individual playing. French was too slow in getting his kick away on nearly every punt, while La Roche twice showed poor headwork. First, when, in the last quarter of the game Yale had carried the ball to within ten yards of the Boston College ten-yard line by a series of desperate rushes, and then was thrown back three times by the stiffened Cavanaugh defense, La Roche attempted to make fourth down on a forward pass.

Horween played a terrific, driving game, while Church made some clever end runs which more than once took the pigskin within striking distance of the goal, and enabled Horween or Nelson to push it across...
