...Crimson met its first formidable aerial attack in the game with the Springfield Y. M. C. A. on November 1. Out of 31 forward passes attempted by Springfield, 13 were successful, and more undoubtedly would have been except for the slippery field. The total University score was made in the first half when the regular first string men were in the fray. Casey easily starred, being responsible for the three touchdowns through his long runs and a forward pass...
...from what looked like certain defeat to a 10-10 tie with Princeton. In the last few minutes of play the University team plunged 70 yards down the field for the touchdown that evened the score.

At the University, the thirty-six men on the first squad come from only six different states; while at Yale fifteen states are represented. Moreover, among the states, Massachusetts leads in both institutions, being represented by 23 men at Harvard and by 6 at Yale. New York stands second at Cambridge with 4 men; New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut are tied with four apiece for second place...
