...forwards were all strong on the defense. They showed, however, as before stated, the unfortunate tendency for off-side play, Swain, and Mills especially, erred most often in this respect. Excepting this fault, Swain played a strong game. He broke up Cornell's mass plays well and tackled for frequent losses. Shaw and Boal both played steadily. Boal, as a groundgainer, was used with telling effect. He was always sure of a gain. His worst fault is that he still runs too high. Doucette played his usual brilliant game at centre, following the ball with great precision and was always...

This was much in evidence, although in this instance it was not so much the fault of the backs as a failure on the part of the line men to block off, when Parker was forced to run 55 yards alone.

...second half Captain Rodgers's irresistible rushing broke the Brown line, but as soon as Yale ran the score up to 12, Brown increased hers to 8. Kiefer made another touchdown for Yale five minutes before time was called while Gammons scored for Brown during the last two minutes of play, Hall kicking this goal, and leaving the score...
