...demonstrated last week in the game against Princeton, when the climax in the development of the team seemed to have been reached. Although held down to six points in the first half, in the second period Yale three times carried the ball down the field by an irresistible attack, gaining from five to ten yards at a rush. The defense also proved powerful, Princeton losing the ball on downs on the 8-yard line after having been unable to gain a foot in three rushes. Only a remarkable drop kick from the 43-yard line by Tooker enabled Princeton...
Contrary to the original plan there was again a scrimmage yesterday afternoon and the defense made a strong showing. The second team was given the ball three times on the 15-yard line and every time was met by a solid resistance against which it was impossible to gain.

In the 13-minute scrimmage the first eleven made two touchdowns by hard rushing and consistent gains...

Misplays lost the Dartmouth eleven the advantage it had gained by out-rushing Harvard. Twice the ball was lost on fumbles, while Harvard's only offense in this respect resulted in a gain of 18 yards. Penalties, although comparatively few, were costly to Dartmouth, who twice was set back 15 yards for holding. Harvard was penalized once for the same offense, and in all three cases a punt was necessary. Besides this each team held twice, forcing a punt, and Harvard was once stopped on downs. Near the end of the game the Dartmouth attack was weakened slightly, and with...
