...upperclass championship by defeating the Sophomores on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon by the score of 21 to 6. The Seniors displayed a more finished game and advanced the ball almost at will. The Sophomores played on the defensive during nearly all of the first half, and could gain only towards the end of the game when the Seniors put in a number of substitutes. For the Seniors, Cate at quarterback and Brooks and Hoffman in the backfield excelled, the latter scoring three touchdowns. R. C. Foster, Voshell, and Case, who made a 30-yard run for a touchdown, played well...
...next play Dana, receiving the ball from Cate on a forward pass, advanced it to the 1-yard line. Hoffman scored on the next play, and Jones kicked the goal. Soon after the next kick-off the Sophomores received the ball on downs, but were unable to gain and kicked to Brooks who ran the ball back to the 10-yard line. Hoffman scored in two plays, but Jones failed to kick the goal. After receiving the kick-off, the Sophomores fumbled and the Seniors recovered the ball on the 15-yard line. The third touchdown was soon made...

The work was ragged and rather discouraging. Eighteen points were rolled up against Holy Cross on October 10, in a game that showed much promise. The offense was still slow in starting, but on the defense, both the line and the backs showed marked improvement. The Army...
...will be a great game, the greatest of the year. Who can tell whether a Yale team which has only recently found itself can rise to the occasion and gain victory from a Harvard team whose progress has been consistent, steady and rightly timed to meet occasions as they appeared? Who can tell whether Yale strategic ability, the result of long and constant application, can cope with Harvard's newly applied organization of football intelligence and come out the victor...
...first half the teams were evenly matched and neither side was able to gain consistently. The Seniors out-played the Sophomores in the first part of the second half, but were in turn out-played later in the same period. The features of the game were long runs by Brooks and Dick. N. H. Foster and Floyd in the backfield and Park in the line did the best for the Sophomores, while Brooks and Hoffman excelled for the Seniors...
