...Polo Grounds the West Point men again triumphed over the Annapolis men. The Army has had the winning habit since 1913. Before that the Navy had had rather the better of the contests. . . . . . The midshipmen must manage, of course, to get back in their old football form as Yale has done, but Yale had suffered more from Harvard than Annapolis has yet suffered from West Point, and there is plenty of time. Congratulations to the Army and to the Yale men, but not a word of commiseration for Harvard and the Navy. There were two fair contests and the best...
...prevented a possible touchdown, or at least a safety, when Robinson, misjudging one of Legore's punts, was hit by the bounding ball. Horween dove under Moseley and recovered the ball just as it was about to roll across the Crimson goal line. Legore's punting was decidedly off form for twice he kicked straight up into the air.

...teams will line up this afternoon Yale has a considerable advantage over her opponent in weight. Almost every man on the University team is outweighed by the corresponding man on the Blue eleven. But the Yale team, though heavier, has not worked together in its present form as long as has the University because of the frequent injuries which have from time to time forced some of the best players on the Blue squad to retire from the game. Such men as Bingham, Braden and Sheldon have been lost to Yale, and consequently today's probable line-up will contain...
