...Legore was the star of the Yale team. He was given the ball on Yale's first offensive play of the game and the fleet back circled Carnegie's left end for a 52-yard run and a touchdown. Coming at the very start of the game, Carnegie was somewhat bewildered. Another spirited run of Legore for 25 yards soon afterward put Yale in a position to score again and after a series of line plunges by Bingham, Jacques and Legore, Travis Smith, the quarterback, carried the ball over...
...first half ended 12 to 0 for Yale, the attempts of Legore to kick goals after touchdowns failing miserably. In the third period Bingham, Jacques and Legore took turns in carrying the ball, following Jacques's run back of the kick-off to the 45-yard line. Finally Bingham shot through the right side of Carnegie's line for a twenty-three-yard run and a touchdown. This time Legore kicked a goal. Several substitutes were put in by Tad Jones at this point, and in the fourth quarter an entirely new backfield was working...

...half an hour spent in special and individual work, and running through signals, Coach Guild's men were brought into the Stadium for a full hour's workout against the first squad. Most of this time was given to the trying out of new plays, team A retaining the ball throughout the greater part of the period. But the defensive work was not neglected, for the seconds were kept on the offensive for the last twenty minutes, in which period they secured only one first down...
Three touchdowns were scored by the University squad, Flower making the first on an intercepted forward pass, and carrying the ball 70 yards down the field for the score, before three minutes of the first period were up. Harte and Likins, who was substituted for him, each made another touchdown within the next twenty minutes, both carrying the ball over from the vicinity of the 30-yard line, on perfectly executed forward passes. During the succeeding fifteen minutes, nearly every man on the squad was sent in for a short time, and then the first line was sent in again...
