His substitute, Kernan, did some remarkable punting in the last few minutes...
...spite of these disadvantages, Yale has now a team which is strong at every point except at the ends. The tackles, Hale, Stillman, and Francis, have been improving steadily during the past few weeks, and, in the early games, were used a great deal to rush the ball.
