...Yale freshmen outweigh Harvard, and have shown a good deal of reserve power when hard pressed. They have won all their games, defeating Andover, with whom the Harvard Freshmen played a tie game, by the score of 22 to 0. This makes Yale's chances appear somewhat the better.

Ver Wiebe, however, carries the ball better, and forms good interference...
