...Robinson has been chosen quarterback because he is so sure in handling punts, kicking drop-kicks and in the selection of his plays. It is not necessary to state why Casey was picked. There is no more elusive, shifty, open-field runner, no player with a better stiff-arm in the 'Big Three...
...forward passing. His punting makes it expedient that he be placed at fullback; his playing there would make him a good threat, with Casey in the line-up, the latter always ready for a pass or a quick thrust off tackle. Legore would be a good threat as a drop kicker, but Robinson would probably be called upon if a sure score was wanted at a critical time...
...University made the first score of the game toward the end of the initial period, when W. F. Robinson '18, standing on the 30-yard line, put a drop-kick squarely between the uprights. This was the only field goal the University attempted, but Neville, Comerford and Legore each tried one unsuccessfully for Yale. All three were from beyond the 40-yard line and the only one that approached success was Comerford's placement kick from the 42-yard line, which hit the upright almost on a level with the cross...

Casey '19 made all three fumbles for the Crimson, two being on kick-offs and the third when a hard tackle by Moseley made him drop a forward pass he had barely received. LaRoche and Jacques were responsible for Yale's fumbles, especially the former, who, although he played a good offensive game, was unable to judge the University's punts accurately...

Minot did some good punting and Taylor practised passing the ball. Horween and Robinson also tried drop-kicking against the wind. The coaches did little but supervise the work, leaving the men to their initiative. The air was cold and bracing, and the entire squad walked the two miles back to the hotel...
