...season Nov. 12 by defeating the Brown University scrubs 14 to 0. The team played, in all, four regular games and several practice games. At the beginning of the season the University team was scored on in practice scrimmages with the seconds, the scrimmages proving a great aid to Coach Haughton in showing up the weaknesses of the individual players on the first squad before team A and team B were organized. Practice games were played with M. I. T. 1919, Rindge, Freshman first and second teams and a second team from its own squad...

...backs, at which four squads worked out from all possible angles of the field. The next in order was a shift to drop-kicking for the backs, and a series of Yale plays staged by the seconds for the ends and linemen. The surprise of the day came when Coach Haughton led his squad of coaches against Team A for an 8-minute scrimmage, in which King, after a long series of line plays from the middle of the field, scored a touchdown from the one-yard line. The seconds were then called in and for a short time they...
