...University basketball team was defeated by Princeton by the score of 23 to 20 in a closely contested game at Princeton Saturday evening. The game was hard fought throughout and the final result was in doubt until the very end. Both teams lost several good, opportunities of scoring, and the University team showed a tendency to make too long shots for goals...
...first game of the intercollegiate series, the University hockey team defeated Columbia last Saturday evening at the St. Nicholas Rink by the score of 5 to 1. The result of the game was never in doubt, for Columbia showed little team-work, and during the entire game made only four attempts to score, all of which were in the second half.

In the early part of the season the backs were slow to get started and it was not until the end of the Princeton game that their attack became so powerful. The position of quarterback has been in doubt all season. Three men were tried during the Princeton game, and it was only the third one that livened up the offense. The defense is not exceptionally strong, as both Brown and Princeton have crossed the Yale goal line...
