...game was characterized by fumbles and poor teamwork. In the next game, however, with Exeter, the Blue yearlings showed their true form by overwhelming their opponents by the score of 21 to 0. On the next Saturday they played Andover and met a snag. Only after hard fighting, and brilliant play by the yearling backs, were they able to defeat the preparatory school team, 14 to 10. On the next two successive Saturdays, the Princeton 1924 and Dean Academy elevens fell before the Eli cubs by the scores of 17 to 3 and 40 to 0 respectively...
...strong line, the Elis have one of the most formidable teams of their class in the country. Hotchkiss and Exeter fell easy victims to their prolonged onslaught in the early season games. In Andover, however, a worthy opponent was found. Wingate, the fast Andover back, tossed a brilliant pass to Maht and kicked a long field goal, accounting for the small end of a 14-10 score. In this game Charles O'Hearn, former Exeter star quarterback, and Neidlinger, a sensational Andover half-back, first displayed their remarkable form which has since marked the Yale games. O'Hearn...
...only in the second half that the Elis succeeded in reversing the Tigers, but their exhibition was brilliant throughout. The Nassau eleven had managed, by a lot of hard work, to keep their opponents from scoring in the first half. But just after the second period opened. O'Hearn caught a punt standing on his 20-yard line and wormed his way 80 yards through the entire Princeton combination. Neidlinger and Wight, halfbacks, were very effective, and the coaches demonstrated they had two excellent substitutes for them in Warner and Ped. The latter kicked an emergency goal in perfect style...
...members of the Crimson team are numbered, somebody may be able to follow the plays with a little more accuracy,--but this must never occur, the graduates must be kept in the dark. When the Crimson's left end goes over for a touchdown after catching a brilliant forward pass only the players and coaches of Harvard and Yale will realize it. What right indeed have the stands to know what Harvard is doing...
Reports from Atlanta, however, have it that Centre put up a scrappy fight, but could not seem to set in motion the same brilliant and crashing offense, and the same wonderfully accurate forward passing which was so much in evidence here. McMillin was stopped--and with him went the heart of the Colonels' attack. The star of the Kentuckians' outfit was Tanner, a substitute back in Roberts' position, who did some good punting and shifty running. Montgomery, the big tackle, continued the same sort of slashing play he exhibited here. He is outplaying Weaver this year...
