...Avery, their substitutes, are good, but not at all remarkable. Scully and Paul at tackles, McDevitt and Francis or Tomlinson, at guards, and Ketcham at centre are a combination which for all around work will be hard for any team to equal. These men are big and fast, and have nearly all had at least a year's experience on the University squad...
Unlike Yale, Princeton has a weak line. On the offensive they are unable to open holes for the backfield, or even to prevent the opposing linemen from sifting through and breaking up end plays. Unless this weakness can be done away with before the harder games, the fast open plays on which the Princeton offence depends will be unable to get started...
...work of the Princeton University football team during the past week has shown a wealth of fast backfield and end material, and a line strong on the defence but sluggish on the offence.

Both of these Princeton won, chiefly through end runs and forward passes, beating Rutgers 37 to 0 and Villa Nova 31 to . Due to the slowness of the forwards in making holes, however, the backfield has been able to gain practically nothing on line plays. The linemen need...

Read, who was first string centre till injured, will return to play this week, but has an uphill task to displace Ketcham, the freshman snap-back of last season, who is playing a fast and powerful game. Indications are that Cooney will win the competition for the second string snapback...

Two attempted plunges were smothered by an impregnable defence. Holy Cross tried a drop-kick but a poor pass and fast work by the University line stopped the play almost as soon as started and gave the ball to Harvard on downs. An exchange of kicks had as usual netted the University team about 20 yards, when time was called with the ball in Holy Cross's possession...
