...when positions were reversed, the Tigers found themselves in similar plight. But this, of course, offers no alibis for the fumbling of the ball on plays into the line. Both teams committed this fault, without evil effect, however, except in one instance, when a fumble by Casey stopped a brilliant Harvard advance, and at the same time threw the Princetonians, who had recovered the ovoid, loose into the open. Had the right back secured the ball, say Moore or Driggs, Harvard would have had a touchdown scored against her. As it was, Harte saved the day by a tackle from...
...Harvard, is one of the best backs in the East, even though he does not hold onto the ball very well. Harvard's line play, from tackle to tackle, was superb. The two ends, Coolidge and Harte, did fine work on attack and defence. They were good, if not brilliant, on downfield work, and did acceptably, if not brilliantly, in protecting their wings.

Harvard did her share of ballchanging and thimble-rigging...

In his first year at Princeton he played guard on the freshman football team. For three seasons he has been on the Princeton team, and last year played a brilliant game against the University.

If so, the budding jokers would serve their own ends better by accompanying each brilliant jest with their signature...
...criticism of the Yale team Duffey says: "Yale, although out of the rut of former years, lacks a good string of second team men. In general yale's defence has been more than above the average but her offence, though often brilliant, is at times ragged. . . . The one weak spot on the Yale line seems to be at tackle. . . . One flagrant weakness has been the weak defence and protection given the kicker. In every game this year Yale has had a kick blocked." But in spite of these few defects, Duffey thinks that Yale's powerful line will hold both...
