...Harvard's three to nothing defeat of Princeton at the Stadium, Cambridge, on Saturday was well-earned, and a triumph for players as well as coaches. The Crimson was an inexperienced eleven, an eleven which had to know defeat by a minor college team before it began to weld into an efficient organization. It was all of that on Saturday last. Taking the Crimson team by and large, it suffers by comparison with Harvard elevens of the past few years in so far as it is weak in punting and drop-kicking and lacks the threat which Mahan was wont...
Brown, Pittsburg and West Point stand in the front rank of Eastern college football elevens, as having so far no defeats to mar their slates. Brown, alone of these three teams, has not had its goal line crossed, the only scoring against it having been done through kicks by Rutgers and Yale. Saturday's results recorded the first defeats of the season for Princeton and Yale. The surprise of the day was the defeat of Tufts by Springfield Y. M. C. A. College, which turned the trick with a marvellous display of open play...
Showing a versatile attack and an impregnable defence, Brown was able to decisively defeat Yale Saturday by a 21 to 6 score. But this defeat cannot be regarded as a just criterion of Yale's true strength, for the latter team, unwilling to risk its regulars, used eighteen players in the contest. These second-string men, however, were no match for the fast Brown aggregation, when open play was started...
...Tufts defeat showed that the University line needed to be greatly strengthened and this the coaches proceeded to do. The first test of the remade team came in the game with North Carolina. The University scored three touchdowns and held the Southerners scoreless, winning 21 to 0. The game showed that the hard work of the weeks before had borne fruit, and with Coach Haughton able to be at practice regularly from that time on, the team began to find itself. Massachusetts Agriculture College was overwhelmed, 47 to 0, on October 21, and this victory seemed to instill confidence...
...following week the Tigers returned to Princeton and met North Carolina in the Palmer Stadium. The Southern team was given a 29 to 0 defeat, a larger score than that made against the same team by Harvard. Princeton showed marked improvement in this game, especially in the backfield, where Eddy was given an oportunity at half-back, a position he has since made practically made sure of. Driggs and Tibbott each scored a touchdown and made long gain on end runs...
