...mire, weary from lost battles on the ice, the track, and the diamond. Far off in Cambridge only the fame of the CRIMSON is heard. The score was 16 to 14. All Lampy's bombs, jeers, kicks, jokes (?), beer, cheers, and bean blowers were of no avail before the cool experts of the pride of American journalism. Nothing could overtax the nerve of the men who had braved the terrors of Memorial Hall's fishballs. Small fry from the streets cheered for their witty brothers, drank with them, blew beans for them, fired dreadful paper salutes for them. Dainty litterateurs...
Yesterday afternoon the University football team played two 20-minute halves against the second eleven, scoring four touchdowns to one made by the second team. The play was as good and as lively as any yet shown, this being in part due to the cool weather. In quickness in following the ball and in skill in the use of the forward pass and the onside kick the men on the first team showed a marked improvement. Lincoln and Wendell made very long gains on line plays, and Macdonald and Osborne recovered the ball for the first eleven several times...

The forward pass and the onside kick hardly ever failed to give the ball to the first eleven, and these plays were used several times with great success.

The race was actually won between the 2-mile and 3 1-2 mile flags. In this part of the distance Filley, by cool headwork, maintained his lead and a steady stroke, while the Yale men were themselves out trying to overcome Harvard's lead...
...relied upon for substantial gains, but when the other side has the ball he makes too little effort to stop the attack. Marshall has developed steadily, and with his experience of last year is proving very necessary in directing plays and in running back punts. He is also cool and skillful in drop-kicking goals though sometimes slow in getting the ball away. Kernan, so far this season, has played a conservative game and has made most of his gains by feeling his way along rather than by main force. His method is effective and has produced some good results...
