...back, and two versatile, speedy half-backs, one of whom is undoubtedly the best all-around football man in the country. Drop-kicking, punting, forward passing, running with the ball and secondary defense would be taken care of by Berryman, King, and Mahan in a way which would be difficult to surpass...
With material declared by experts to be the best in the country, Yale entered a schedule certainly not more difficult than Princeton's, and certainly easier than Harvard's. Up to November 13th all the teams the Blue had encountered on that schedule have successively been beaten by others, and beaten decisively.

But then came the plunge...
