...Tactics, which at Yale has been presided over for twenty years by Walter Camp. I shall try to show later just what this accomplishes to justify my crediting it with an influence of forty per cent. on the result. I have called it the 'system,' for want of a better word, but it is really the tactical policy of the game...
...versatile, strict in discipline, and a man whom Mr. Camp is bound to respect. The team has strength, steadiness, brilliancy, determination, and a captain to be proud of either on or off the field. In the College Office it has a record of perfect attendance and marks which are better than those of any team within memory. In closing Dean Briggs said that Harvard men and Yale men were much alike, being natural friends as well as natural enemies.

No better way could be found to endorse this new regime than the display of an enthusiasm such as no class new in College has ever seen...

It is also true that the score does not nearly portray the relative strength of the two teams, as Williams was by no means weak, but the possibilities of the new game were never better shown. In New York Dartmouth met what is considered by many to be the best team Princeton has developed since 1903. Nervousness and a wide-awake team that was ever ready to take advantage of every sign of it, worked greatly against the Dartmouth players. However, the men played...
