...incident to mass play and open up the game for spectator as well as player. The game consequently developed in such a way as to make scoring difficult, the rules favoring defensive much more than offensive play. More and more the outcome depended upon kicking and, other things being equal, the side with the best kicker pulled out just ahead. When the punters were only fairly evenly matched, as between Harvard and Yale, the final score stood 0 to 0. Princeton, the 1911 championship team used the forward pass practically not at all, but depended upon an impregnable defence...
...offense; scoring will be more frequent and punting will be practically eliminated. Both are decided improvements, for by higher scoring relative strengths are more easily determined, and punting often became monotonous in the former game. Yet by causing a touchdown to count six points, two drop-kicks will not equal one touchdown and goal from touchdown. Hence, drop-kicking has also been practically eliminated; not an altogether desirable feature from the spectators' point of view. In connection with the four-down change it has been argued that the game will immediately return to the old form of mass play...
...value of a touchdown has been raised from five to six points. By this increase it is made equal to two goals from the field. A goal kicked after a touchdown still counts one point...
...easily for three laps and then went to the front. On the next corner, however, Withington fell heavily and before he could continue, Kimball had a comfortable lead. H. M. Warren '13 was thus handicapped by about 40 yards, and before the end of his relay had lost an equal amount. The third man for the University, W. H. Fernald '12, gained slightly on O. Hedlund for four laps but was unable to maintain this advantage on the last. Halpin, the B. A. A. half-miler, took up the race at this point for the Boston team and finished...
...Blackall were the bright spots on the Harvard team the former following back well and spoiling many of Baker's opportunities for shots, while the latter was conspicuous in his sprints down the ice, one of which made the second score possible. Gardner at goal proved himself the equal of Kalbfleisch, and the three shots he missed were practically impossible to stop. The outer defence, Blackall and Willetts, did excellent work in breaking up Princeton's attack and were of material aid in feeding the puck to the forwards. The same fault may be found with the offence that...
