...work and Captain Talbott is once more on the field. He expects to resume his position at left tackle today. Stillman and LeGore took a rest yesterday and Ainsworth was shifted to the second team, Waite taking his place at left halfback. The team is following the ball much better than it did last week and its line work has also improved...
Yale, played in better form than she has shown so far this season. Swift and sure on the attack and with a defence that was practically unpregnable, the Yale team distinctly outclassed the Colgate eleven and won with ease, 49 to 7. Using straight old fashioned football Yale four times rushed the ball from her own 20-yard line down the field in a series of 5 yard plunges that resulted in touchdowns.

Soucy, at end, is falling into the duties of his new position quickly, and should be an improvement over Weatherhead, while Wallace, at center, backs up the line as a secondary defence even better than did Soucy, his most obvious fault being a tendency toward erratic passing to the punter. Pennock will be unable to play. Francke will make his first appearance in the backfield in place of Captain Brickley, and his performance will be watched with considerable interest on all sides...
