...play and unnecessary fumbling. Yale played against the Springfield eleven on October 10, winning by the score of 12 to 0 and, therefore, this game should afford a good opportunity for judging the relative strength of Harvard and Yale this year. In the game with Springfield Yale used the forward pass with a fair measure of success, but failed to make a higher score on account of costly fumbles. At times the Springfield backs made consistent gains through the Yale line, and for that reason it is expected that the game this afternoon will be harder than any the University...
...football squad had no regular scrimmage yesterday, most of the time being devoted to practice of the forward pass and the onside kick by two elevens formed from the first squad. While the second team were running through signals, Burr gave the first team ends and backs a long practice in catching and running in punts. Later on Newhall took Burr's place, trying several punts for the purpose of giving the ends practice in quick starting. In the line-up the passes were worked fairly well, which makes it possible that they will be tried to a very considerable...

They played an excellent game at end for the first team, recovering the ball several times on passes and kicks. Miller...
...preliminary practice most of the time was devoted to work on the forward pass by the first eleven under the supervision of Coach Reid, the object being to show the men how to guard the man who throws the ball. While Kennard and Burnham were falling on the ball, Parker tried a number of goals from placement. Later the ends were given a short practice in catching the ball on the run. Burr, Kersburg, and Lockwood have been given a two days' rest...
...stopping Browne, who got the ball on the 10-yard line. The second team failed to gain and O'Hare punted, Foster downing the ball on the 38-yard line. Newhall made three yards on a long run around left end, after which Grosvenor failed to gain on a forward pass. Foster made a quick kick from formation on which Sibley downed the ball over the line for the only touchdown. Foster missed the goal. In the rest of the scrimmage neither side scored, although the second team advanced the ball to the University team's three-yard line, where...
