...form which culminated in the Princeton and Harvard games. The team was one of the most powerful that has ever been produced at Yale, but seemed to lack finish. The line was stronger than the backfield and compared favorably with any line of previous years. Great credit is due to Head-coach Rafferty, Captain Hogan and Trainer Murphy for the splendid machine that they build up. The team was so well knit that it would be hard to single out any individual player as better than the others...
...defense left little to be desired. Sperry had few chances to carry the ball, but he was reliable in defense and his kicking was thoroughly creditable in view of poor defense and unreliable passing. Starr ran the team well and was sure in handling punts. His one fumble was due to a poor pass from centre. Randall played a hard, reliable game, Montgomery, pitted against an end of national reputation, played his position with credit, and Matthews was fast in getting down under kicks, deadly in tackling and effective in breaking up interference. Derby and Brill bore the brunt...

While these men were the main factors in coaching, the work of the following graduates, who have returned at different times to coach, has been invaluable: R. Townsend '00S., S. O. Vanderpoel '03, F. A. Hinkey '95, F. S. Butterworth '95, G. Adee '95, H. P. Olcott '01, G. Goss '03, P. T. Stillman '95, H. Metcalf '04, S. B. Thorne '96, C. Gould '02, C. T. Weymouth...
