...other teams during the early season games and held the University to a 7-0 score on October 18. The touchdown came in the first quarter when an 80-yard march down the field swept the Brown team off its feet. During the second half a series of criss-cross plays took the Brown football machine from their own 25-yard line to the University's 22-yard mark before the Crimson men could stop the onrush. J. K. Ryan Occ and P. D. Steele '20 in the end berths, accounted for many brilliant plays. R. M. Sedgwick...
...attack which the Bruins inaugurated in the second half forced the Crimson players to fight as never before this season. Fox, who replaced Coulter at quarter, drove his team from the Brown 25-yard line to the University's 22-yard mark by a series of bathing criss-cross...
Brown received Harvard's kick-off on her 25-yard line. From here Fox drove his team down the field by a series of brilliant criss-cross plays, Fox, Shupert and Armstrong carrying the ball. At the University 25-yard line Brown was set back by an offside penalty. A Brooks to Albright pass netted eight yards. Two more frantic rushes were stopped for no gain. Fox unsuccessfully drop-kicked from the 30-yard line. Humphrey out-punted Armstrong, thus advancing the ball to the Brown 25 yard line by the end of the quarter...
...losers equal the Colgate team. Pollard, whose wonderful work against the University and Yale stamped him as one of the greatest backs in the game, was ineffective on a slippery field, and at no time proved dangerous. The Colgate eleven displayed a bewildering assortment of trick plays and criss-cross formations, and each of its four touchdowns resulted from a steady march down the field. Brown's heralded offence was unable to gain consistently through the strong Colgate line, and the latter's goal line was little threatened throughout the game. Anderson, who played quarterback for the winners, showed faultless...
...weight and power advantage ought to be a great asset to Yale, provided the men are not given too explicit instructions to watch some individual star on the Harvard team. Personally, I believe in a space defence where every man covers a certain space. If this is done effectively, criss cross and so-called concealed ball plays will not avail.. Individually the players on both teams have been compared so many times that nothing I could add would be of interest. Legore and Black will stand out for Yale, and Horween and Casey for Harvard, but such contests usually...
