...which presents an old combination in the backfield, but which possesses a new field general and new line-men. Willcox does not possess Watson's experience, but he is a faster and more tricky runner with the ball. Today's game will shown whether or not he is the better man at directing the crimson attack. With Coolidge and Soucy at ends, that department of the line does not at this time seem to have been changed much for the better or for the worse. From tackle to tackle, weight, at least, has been lost in the substitution...
Yale will have to play much better football than was shown against Virginia, if Lehigh is to be easily defeated. Captain Wilson will probably not start the game as he was overstrained in last week's encounter, and has been doing the lightest sort of work since then. Legore will also still be kept out of the game. His shoulder is still weak and the coaches are unwilling to take any chances with him.

These two touchdown's, together with another which followed when Soucy gathered in a pretty forward pass, would seem to indicate that the University men had much the better of the argument, but an analysis of the play showed that little ground was gained through the black team on straight rushing. Not the least part of the second substitutes good work was due to the excellent defense provided by McEl- wain's long punts, who also distinguished himself...
