...points against the Medfordians and the collection of players which had been routed the week before. The bewildering assortment of trick plays which Tufts uncorked failed to baffle the Blue line as they nailed the Blue and Maroon runner behind the line time and again. Tufts won their first down only twice. And despite the absence of Callahan, Murphy and Braden, the Elis pushed the disheartened men from Medford before them with little difficulty. They relied chiefly on line plunges, attempting little aerial work. A feature in the Yale offense and defense was the way in which they took advantage...

Against the comparatively strong Brown team it seemed at first as if the Bull Dog was dropping back to its earlier season form. Fumbling and stumbling through two quarters of erratic football, four times bringing the ball within scoring distance of the Brown goal, the Yale attack lacked the final drive necessary to put the ball across. But in the final half, the Bull Dog recovered from its temporary slump and scored their two touchdowns...

...first game of the season, on September 27, the Crimson eleven over-whelmed the Bates College team by a 53 to 0 score. The Maine boys put up a plucky fight but the greater weight and experience of the home team counted heavily against them. Except for frequent fumbling the game was remarkably free from early season blunders. E. L. Casey Occ starred by his long runs of 45 and 65 yards, while W. J. Murray Occ. and R. Horween Occ. were deciding factors in the game...

Brown put up more opposition than any of the other teams during the early season games and held the University to a 7-0 score on October 18. The touchdown came in the first quarter when an 80-yard march down the field swept the Brown team off its feet. During the second half a series of criss-cross plays took the Brown football machine from their own 25-yard line to the University's 22-yard mark before the Crimson men could stop the onrush. J. K. Ryan Occ and P. D. Steele '20 in the end berths, accounted...

...October 25, exhibiting a far surer and more finished game than they had hitherto played. Excellent interference cleared the path for long runs by Murray, Humphrey and Church. The latter played an all-around smashing game and scored two touchdowns by his line plunges. During the very first minute of play Murray tore off 42 yards which was shortly followed by a touchdown by A. Horween '20, made after a 20-yard run. On the kick-off afterwards Humphrey ran back the ball 67 yards to the 30-yard line...
