...upset all calculations by defeating the Yale yearlings 9 to 7 in a game won by a 43-yard goal from placement in the final moments of play. The Yale team was a heavy favorite as it had defeated the University eleven, which had won from the Orange and Black team 24 to 0 two weeks ago. The first score came in the second period when Harvey, a Princeton end, ran 50 yards for a touchdown. In the second half Yale gained a one-point lead on a touchdown by Lay and a goal by French. The long goal from...
...Black's Naval Reserves, who defeated the University informals 14 to 0, met their first reverse in New York Saturday at the hands of the Rutgers eleven. The individual stars of the Newport team could not prevent the well-drilled college eleven from totalling 14 points against them. Coach Leary's Navy Yard eleven, however, strengthened during the past week, had no difficulty in defeating an all-star team at Beverly, 34 to 0. L. H. Enwright '18 and E. L. Casey '19 were the stars, while C. A. Clark, Jr., '19, W. J. Murray '18, W. Rollins...
Both elevens are among the most powerful aggregations ever collected. At Newport the names in the squad contain almost an All-American lineup. Black and Callahan of Yale, Paisley of Michigan, and the star Syracuse guard, Schlacter, are in the line. The work of the last-named player was the outstanding feature of the informal-Naval Reserve game. In the backfield, Gerrish from Dartmouth, Barrett, star punter and fast running Cornellian; Hite of Kentucky and Gardiner from the Middle West from an exceptional quartet...
...they put up a game which places them in the football Hall of Fame. With the possible exception of the Navy Yard team here in Boston, the Newport squad is the best in the country. With a line made up of men like Schlacter of Syracuse, and Callahan and Black of Yale, and with a backfield composed of Barrett, Gerrish, Hite and Gardiner, this naval Reserve team is as near being an All-America product as any aggregation the ever played together. When the Informals went to meet this Goliath among football teams, the University said a sad farewell...
Today is the climax of our football season: The Harvard and Yale Freshman teams meet in the Stadium. They and not the usual University teams are to represent the Crimson and the Blue. We will miss the old stars: Black, Casey and those others who battled in the Bowl last year all are in the Service and the freshmen are the only ones left to represent their colleges on the gridiron. There will be no H formed in the Stadium, no new songs will be sung; it will be a war time game. We, that is, all but the freshmen...
