...beyond the elemental, unformed state. English F takes care of the worst cases, but the kind of penmanship that "gets by" in college--though even here a disadvantage to the writer--would, in later life, lose many a man his job. When an instructor runs through a pile of blue-books or a number of weekly themes, their neatness may not receive official notice, yet no matter what the content may be, orderly writing cannot fail to make a favorable impression--with a consequent and deserved increment in grade...
...Yale team outplayed the University in the second half when the Crimson was making, a vain attempt to score, but in the first half both teams played equally well--or poorly--with the breaks going to Yale. The Blue eleven was the more consistently powerful organization throughout the game, but the Crimson was strong enough to hold its opponents at all times, had not luck occasionally interfered. The winning touchdown was due to a Yale fumble recovered by a Yale player, Gates, but the ability of the Blue team to force the ball over the goal line after this fumble...

Only seven yards could be made in three downs, however, and Robinson dropped back for his successful field goal...
...beginning of the second period was all in vain, and from that time on Yale was the agressor. The quarter was featured by two unsuccessful Yale field goals, the first first down of the game, made by Horween, and finally by the touchdown which gave the game to the Blue. Comerford, from a difficult angle, failed to kick the goal...
