After the secret practice the first eleven lined up against a team of substitutes for further work on the forward pass and other open plays. In this work there was no attempt at a regular scrimmage. The team seems to have acquired a fair amount of confidence in the use of the open plays, and in consequence they work out to better advantage, as was seen in the Springfield game last Saturday. Toward the end of this work Coach Reid and Burr tried several goals from placement behind the line of scrimmage with rather poor success, the ball being blocked...
...Yale played against the Springfield eleven on October 10, winning by the score of 12 to 0 and, therefore, this game should afford a good opportunity for judging the relative strength of Harvard and Yale this year. In the game with Springfield Yale used the forward pass with a fair measure of success, but failed to make a higher score on account of costly fumbles. At times the Springfield backs made consistent gains through the Yale line, and for that reason it is expected that the game this afternoon will be harder than any the University eleven has played...
...once did the Amherst eleven make a first down. Penalties were not especially numerous, the Amherst team being set back twice for holding, twice for illegal forward passes and once for offside play, and the University team once for offside play and once for interference with a fair catch. An excellent feature of the game was the fine interference given the Harvard runners by the rest of the team. In the line Kersburg, Burr and Osborne played the best game, the first two tearing big holes in the opposing line and then pulling the runner along. Parker played a fairly...
...again punted, but the ball was brought back and Amherst was penalized 15 yards for holding. With the ball on the 20-yard line Cobbs punted to Hall, who ran back a few yards to the 40-yard line. An onside kick followed, on which Cobbs signalled for a fair catch. Harvard, however, interfered with the catch and was penalized 20 yards. Cobbs tried a drop kick, which was unsuccessful. Burr, who got the ball, ran out of bounds on the 32-yard line. An exchange of punts followed. Then an onside kick and a fumble occurred, on which Amherst...
...Practically all through the game Yale's light, quick eleven outplayed the heavy Syracuse team by resorting to an open kicking game, for great gains were made on short kicks Yale men recovering the ball. Although the Syracuse eleven seemed to get off their plays with fair speed, Yale's strong secondary defence repeatedly stopped them before the necessary ten yards could be gained. T. Jones made several long runs, one the entire length of the field, carrying the ball from a kick-off over the line for a touchdown...
