...Winsor system is to hockey, what the Haughton-Fisher system is to football; but neither can prove successful, without sufficient raw material. Bearing in mind the fact that last year's Eli Freshmen defeated the 1925 septet, it behooves all those who have ever played the game, and those who think they might be able to learn the intricacies of chasing a puck, to report at the mass meeting in the Union tonight...
...next Saturday, after being held scoreless in the first two periods by the strong line play of the Vermont eleven, the Bulldog came back in the second half and registered a 14-0 victory. Five unsuccessful attempts at field goals were made by the Elis, and in the first half of the contest Yale threatened the opposing goal four times but lacked the drive necessary to score. Differing little from the tactics used against Bates in the opening game, the Eli play was featured both by the alert defensive work of the line and by a noticeable lack of brilliance...
...following week in a pouring rain, North Carolina came to the Bowl and was overwhelmingly routed 34-0. Again the line held like a stone wall, allowing the Southerners not a single first down, but this time the Eli attack began to give promise of the power to come.

Seven times it marched down the field for a score, using the forward pass almost exclusively, but in spite of ths overwhelming preponderance, the eleven could not prevent the Brown...
...Eli attack was well-nigh invincible, forwards, runs and punts all coming from the versatile O'Hearn who proved himself a master in the art of triple threat. But it must be admitted that Princeton was not as formidable against Yale as against the University the preceding week. Handicapped by the loss of Keck early in the game, the Tiger eleven seemed to miss his inspiring presence and to lack the drive which they possessed the Saturday before. But no credit must be taken from Yale, they have overcome the defeats of years by conquering Princeton, and today they will...
