...representative was not a team but a Blue squad of eleven men. Careless handling of Thurman's clever punts was as the chief factor in the first reverse for Yale, and Virginia took a 10 to 0 victory. By desperate plugging through the line, Yale was barely able to defeat Lehigh 7 to 6 the next Saturday, and the following week the Elis took a hollow 19 to 0 victory from the weak Springfield Y. M. C. A. team. But the next week, with the declaration of the ineligibility of Legore, Easton, and Pumpelly, started the Blue's big slump...
Princeton, with a finished eleven at top-season form, by far the favorite, was defeated 13 to 7. There is many an alibi for that defeat, and many a just one, but even with the many breaks discounted, Yale showed the unexpected quality of power, displayed a remarkably strong defence from the tackle to tackle, uncovered a new spirit and a good kicking game, and, what is perhaps most fundamentally requisite, came forward with the ability to follow the ball. In the way of an offense, the Elis indeed had little, simply a few variations of the old Minnesota shift...
Next in interest to the contest in the Stadium is the Syracuse-Dartmouth game. Both have been defeated but once this year, each time at the hands of Princeton. Syracuse, however, has shown far greater strength than the Green, the biggest achievement being the overwhelming defeat of Colgate. The Army and Navy engage in games which should not afford them much trouble, against Springfield and Ursinus, respectively...
...University's, but the Elis' victory was over the weak Cornell team, while the best Yale could get against Princeton was a tie, at a time when the latter team was badly disorganized by the loss of three players who were found to be ineligible. The University's defeat, on the other hand, was by the strong Columbia team, which at present leads the league. The Harvard players have been steadily improving of late, Weld and Wood being especially adept at team-play. The teams will line up as follows: HARVARD. YALE. Emmons, g. g., Weyl Daly, r.f. l.f., Crawford...
...Freshman association football team will play Middlesex at Middlesex this afternoon. The Freshman team has improved since its defeat by Andover last week. There is better team work and shooting by the forward line, and the defence is also stronger. Florence at left halfback and Lucas at centre halfback are showing up well in their positions...
