...attack and both are very speedy skaters. They played on the 1910 championship team and it will be hard to find two men who will work so well together in the forward line. Kalbfleisch developed into one of the best goal tenders of the season. He was both clever in stopping shots and quick in clearing the puck. Blair played efficiently in breaking up the attack...
...puck down the ice, he caged the first goal with a shot which struck Rankin's skate and bounded in. Again, two minutes before the close of the game, when McGill was playing five men in the forward line, he took the puck away from Scott on a clever piece of stick-work, carried it by Masson, and drawing Warwick out from his goal, shot it past him for the third and last score of the game...
...Yale team played a remarkably good defensive game, but the brilliant shooting of Baker again proved too much for them. Neither side was able to score during the first half, although many times only the clever work of Carhart, the Yale goal-keeper, prevented Baker from scoring. Yale's first and only tally came early in the second half, Cox shooting the goal. A little later, Baker of Princeton secured the puck from the face-off, carried it the length of the rink, and scored unassisted. Three more goals, one by Captain Kay of Princeton and two by Baker, completed...

He leads all his competitors in sizing up the plays of the opposing backfield, is very fast down the field, a sure tackler, and very clever in handling the forward pass.

At the other extremity White of Princeton cannot be disregarded on account of an extraordinary ability in following the ball, a fact which alone makes Princeton the 1911 football champion. White's offensive work is far ahead...
...substitute halfbacks, Reilly, the former end rush and Philbin, the brother of Yale's clever halfback of two years ago, and Anderson, a former "All Western" halfback from the University of Wisconsin, are the players who have good individual qualities but are not up to the standard of the 1910 backfield...
