Howe has always been clever with the forward pass and the on-side kick, two plays which the weather discounted in the Princeton game. If he can use these plays successfully against Harvard, it will relieve him of much of the strenuous work which devolved upon him last Saturday and may enable him to play out the entire game. If he has to retire, Merritt, the captain of the baseball team, will be the first substitute. Merritt has been playing football at Yale for four years but has never been able to win a permanent position on the university team...
...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...

And almost all are good, some very funny in themselves, some admirably illustrating the verses that accompany them. The caricatures are excellent, especially the clever pictorial review of the Blue Bird. The whole number, however, overflows with a good, healthy, fantastic humor. It never descends into profundity, is not boastful as some Yale Game numbers have been, but is as ready to make high-spirited fun of our own failures as of those...
...upon Captain Howe. The team has never done anything worth while, except when he has been behind the line. This, of course, means that the substitute quarterback material is weak. Howe, though not physically a strong man, had been until the Princeton game, regarded as a superior general, a clever punter, and a valuable man in running back punts. Last Saturday his generalship was severely criticised and he muffed punts again and again. The timely development of Walter Camp, Jr., has relieved Howe from punting just as the development of Francis relieved him from placement kicking...
