...exception of Ford of Princeton. Captain Morgan and Doty were invincible on the defence, and they also played an aggressive game from their positions. Murray and Bierworth, the Yale backs, were also successful in stopping almost every attack. Only the prettiest possible exhibition of team-work enabled the Crimson forwards to play through and score the second goal. Yale's forward line was without the services of the captain and star, Burgess, who is a fast, aggressive player.

Thacher and Baker were both laid off yesterday, the former with a hip bruise which may keep him out until Saturday. Baker had a slight cold. Their places in the forward line were taken by Taylor and Baldwin, respectively...
