...cynical or sceptical persons it may seem incredible that the five athletes, who must have heard endless talk about the professionalism of summer ball, were substantially innocent; it is at least equally incredible that a group of the best Yale athletes should wittingly jeopardize their amateur status by openly doing what invited investigation and would not bear it. The endless talk they have heard may itself be one cause of their ignorance. Nothing is more be wildering nothing is viewed in more varied and contradictory ways, than the ethics and the academic result, of summer ball-playing. There...
...vital questions, not at headquarters, but in clubrooms or in the street; not from those officers who alone speak with authority, but from fellow-students who got it from others. Yale had apparently permitted some university players to play among professionals or semi-professionals, and to play summer ball at Quogue. Of course she would have disqualified any player known to receive pay above his expenses--that is a different matter. Of the five men some had played at Quogue before; all get their information from Yale men who had played at Quogue or been concerned with the Quogue team...

...sent in a substitute team. Princeton's stone-wall defense, the superior generalship of Captain Glick, the superior punting of Driggs, and the remarkable performance of Tibbott, were the factors which contributed most to the victory. Tibbott scored a touchdowns, and put up a great game at carrying the ball. Princeton played straight football, seemed to have much kept in reserve, and gave such a great all-around performance that Parke H. Davis, in writing for the New York Herald, declared the team to be the strongest the Tigers have had in many years...
...large part of the contest Brown seemed to have the upper hand. Wilkinson, the brilliant halfback of the Orange eleven, was in a great measure responsible for his team's victory, for in the long series of rushes which resulted in the long score, he carried the ball on almost every play. In spite of their defeat, the Brown players showed great power, and it is doubtful whether the University can again afford to send in a substitute line-up against them...
