...playing of Yale against Holy Cross on the following Saturday was a distinct disappointment to all followers of the blue eleven, the game being marked by frequent fumbles and generally ragged playing. A week of good hard practice under Tom Shevlin seemed to be of no avail and the eleven played to a no score tie with the University of Maine. The chief weakness lay in the backfield which was far below expectations, while the line, although it held the Maine eleven scoreless showed that great improvement was also necessary in this department. This poor showing resulted in another week...
Lehigh was beaten on the following Saturday by the score of 37-0 in a game which showed that the Yale team had benefited by mistakes in the previous games. Distinct advances were brought out in departments of the game in which Yale had before been seriously lacking. This was, especially true in the case of the forward pass, which netted many long gains.

The Yale team excelled in rushing through the line...

We supposed at once that it must have been the result of close confinement in an ill-ventilated room; and, though we have found out since that such was not the case, the incident, nevertheless, served to recall the matter of classroom ventilation. We may as well be specific, too, for there have been at least two strenuous complaints on that subject within the last few days...

The Tiger attack had lost its vaunted strength when tried against the unyielding Dartmouth line. This defeat, bitter as it was, put new spirit into the Princeton team and last Saturday, with a return to form, Holy Cross was literally torn to pieces. The Princeton eleven has begun to retrieve the Dartmouth defeat and it will meet Harvard tomorrow completely rejuvenated and ready to fight its hardest...
Though it is no doubt in some measure an outgrowth of the annual "Christmas Carol Service" in Appleton Chapel, where choruses from the two colleges have for several years sung together successfully, the joint concert tonight by the Harvard and Radcliffe Glee Clubs is a distinct innovation. The Music Department has devoted much time and skill to training the two organizations together for several weeks past, and as a result the program for tonight contains classic songs of a nature more ambitious than either club could have successfully attempted by itself. There is every reason to hope that this...
