...even with the many breaks discounted, Yale showed the unexpected quality of power, displayed a remarkably strong defence from the tackle to tackle, uncovered a new spirit and a good kicking game, and, what is perhaps most fundamentally requisite, came forward with the ability to follow the ball. In the way of an offense, the Elis indeed had little, simply a few variations of the old Minnesota shift, but Princeton overconfidence and Guernsey's drop-kicking made an offence practically unnecessary. The main point is, that what Yale did show in the game was good. The Yale line, given...
First half-hour--Harvard wins the toss and selects the wind. Arnold kicks off for Yale, sending a long kick down the field. Leeds springs a trick not known at Yale: he kicks the ball back again. Yale again kicks and Leeds, catching, runs in for a touchdown. He kicks the goal. The ball is kicked off and Harvard soon has it in touch near Yale's goal. It is thrown in to Seamans, who kicks a goal from the field. Yale kicks off. Seamans runs in to Yale's goal, but stops 35 yards away and tries a drop...
...Where Yale shone, wherein she has hope to make trouble for Harvard, is in her punting and drop-kicking, her down field ability and sharp tackling of her team; the close, unerring following of the ball and the splendid spirit of the players individually and as a whole. Her wing defense and defense off tackle must improve between now and next Saturday, probably will. Her forward-passing game is not dangerous, and she launches a driving attack from her Minnesota shift formation better qualified for midfield gains than for gains inside her opponent's thirty-five-yard line.

...Haven, Conn., Nov. 16. -- Secret practice was again in order at New Haven this afternoon. The university team went through a short scrimmage with the ineligibles, the latter using Harvard formations. The first team was entirely on the defensive, except for a brief period when they took the ball and ran through a short series of offensive plays. But there was no tackling, the work being entirely of the dummy nature...
Yesterday's contest was hotly fought and although outweighed Gore succeeded in keeping her opponent from scoring until the last quarter. At the start of the fourth period, Smith started a series of successful rushes and forced the ball up to Gore's five-yard line, from which Freeman tallied on the next play. Works kicked the goal. There was no more scoring until the last three minutes of play when Smith made two more touch-downs in lightning succession on two intercepted forward passes.--Hoffman and Craig being the individual stars. Freeman kicked the goal from the last touchdown...
