Dimond and Cooke were easily the stars of the offence. They followed the ball closely and evaded the Yale defence. Captain O. G. Daly '17 played an especially strong game on defence. He broke up the Yale advance again and again, saving the goal guard many difficult stops. Emmons at goal played a good game and in the second half when the play centered mostly around the University goal, his work was of the best...
...first time in seven long years Yale is rejoicing in a victory over the University. The Blue scored its first touchdown against the Crimson since 1907 when Legore carried the ball across in the second period of Saturday's game. It was by this narrow margin, 6 points to 3, that Yale was able to pull through with its long awaited victory...
...consistently powerful organization throughout the game, but the Crimson was strong enough to hold its opponents at all times, had not luck occasionally interfered. The winning touchdown was due to a Yale fumble recovered by a Yale player, Gates, but the ability of the Blue team to force the ball over the goal line after this fumble was a demonstration of its slight superiority. The University line put up a magnificent defence in the shadow of their goal posts, for it took Yale eight downs to make the 12 yards. It was fourth down and one yard to go when...
...feature of the game was the punting, especially that of R. Horween '18, for the University kicker averaged 37 yards to 31 for Legore. His second punt of the game carried a total distance of 80 yards including the roll, and it was this kick which put the ball in Yale's territory for the greater part of the first period. Horween also prevented a possible touchdown, or at least a safety, when Robinson, misjudging one of Legore's punts, was hit by the bounding ball. Horween dove under Moseley and recovered the ball just as it was about...
...forward passing game. All told, the Crimson tried 12 passes, but of these nine were in the fourth quarter. Two were successful, four intercepted and the remainder incompleted. In the final period C. A. Coolidge '17 caught a 31-yard pass from H. C. Flower '19, which put the ball on Yale's 35-yard line, but evidently it was decided to try for a touchdown and victory rather than for a probable field goal and a tie score, so the forward passing game was continued to a fatal end when Neville caught one of W. J. Murray...
