...practice for the games with Amherst at Amherst Wednesday night and with Pennsylvania in the Hemenway Gymnasium on Saturday night. The team will be strengthened this week by Linehan, who was unable to take the western trip on account of examinations.

Another touchdown just before the end of the game brought the score to its final figures and gave Yale a victory which in its extent, if not in its essential features, was almost as great as the one in 1900 and requited the defeat of last year...
