...backs played a strong game catching, kicking and running well, and playing a cool, steady game. One of the noticeable features of the game was the good work which our substitutes did. Called into the most important game of the year, with everything depending on them, without a chance even to get warmed up, they responded nobly, playing better than ever before. Boyden's catching was especially good, never missing a ball, though surrounded almost every time by Yale men; while Sears and Fletcher did good work in their respective positions, showing the good training they had, and their complete...
...Yale rush-line played a magnificent game. Every man knew what he had to do, and did it well. They made good holes and protected the runner in great shape. It was in vain that our rushers and backs would try to get through the line with the ball. Even when they did find what looked like a hole a Yale rusher was sure to come round from the further end and stop the runner before he got to the backs. In fact their backs did very little tackling and are evidently not so good as the rush-line. Watkinson...
...Moody's sermon last evening in Appleton Chapel was in every sense awakening. It is seldom that words of such clear practical common sense are heard in even radical Harvard, and they sounded very welcome to all present. Mr. Moody will remain with the university during to-day and to-morrow. It is to be hoped that as many men as possible will hear him, since hardly too high praise can be given such telling words as his. Something is needed to stir many men from their lethargy of thought and few speakers are so well fitted to accomplish just...
Probably few people, even of those who call it a green team, realize how little experience most of the men have had. Peabody is the veteran of the team, as he played on the university in his freshman year; but he has never played on a winning team. Brooks played on the university two years ago, and was one of the best rushers on the team; and it is largely owing to his efficient work as captain that the team of this year has reached its present point of efficiency. Adams has played portions of two important games...
...result of our last Princeton game must have shown our team the importance of playing hard in the beginning, and scoring first, if possible; while last year's Yale-Princeton game should teach them that even if Yale should be fortunate enough to score first, that does not prove that they are going to win. A game is not lost till it is won. The game is played on our own grounds, and the team will have the support of all the men in college, and of all the graduates who can possibly get here, all of whom have confidence...
