...outlook for a strong football team at Yale next fall is not particularly bright. Of the thirteen men who played against Harvard and Princeton, six will graduate, Captain Hogan, Bloomer, Kinney, Neal, Owsley and Leavenworth, and Rockwell will be ineligible to play, because of the four-year rule. Out of the twelve other men on the regular squad only seven will return, so that it seems likely there will be a decided lack of substitute material. Although the backfield, as it played in the Harvard game, will be absolutely intact, the line will be greatly weakened by the loss...
...greatest loss will be that of Hogan and Bloomer, whose play this year was the strongest asset of the team. Kineon, who was a good substitute this year, will also graduate. At present the strongest candidate for a line position appears to be Forbes, the former Wesleyan player, who is now a regular member of the sophomore class. His work this year on the college team was very good, and he should be a valuable man next fall as he is heavy, fast and knows the game. As substitutes for Neal and Kinney, Cates and Congdon will return...
...nearly as good. The lack of weight will be the principal fault with next year's backs, as not one of the seven weighs as much as 170 pounds, and in this way more than in any other, the loss of the ground-gaining ability of Hogan and Bloomer will be most severely felt...
...loss of 5 yards. Sperry punted to Yale's 47-yard line and Rockwell ran the ball back 10 yards. Flinn on his first try failed to gain through Derby, but on the next went through him for 3 yards. Morse got 6 yards through Brill, and then, with Bloomer back, made 2 more, to Harvard's 41-yard line. Hogan made 2 yards between Derby and Squires. Morse on a formation play went through Harvard's right wing for 5 yards and followed with 3 more, taking the ball to Harvard's 32-yard line. Flinn gained 4 yards...
...yards. He was tackled so hard by Matthews that he dropped the ball, but Neal recovered it. Hoyt at once punted to Starr on Harvard's 47-yard line. Brill fumbled and Neal again secured the ball for Yale. Flinn got 1 yard at centre, and Morse 5 behind Bloomer. Bloomer took the ball but was thrown back for a loss of 1 yard. Hogan made 2 yards at centre and Hoyt kicked out of bounds at Harvard's 35-yard line. Mills got through Kinney for 5 yards and Brill and Hurley made 3 yards in two rushes. Sperry...
