Maryland was weak in every department of the game, but nevertheless Yale flashed some real power against the Southerners. The backs, particularly Kline, stood out. Kline was able to gain almost at will through the line, time and again breaking through for long gains which were only stopped by three or four tacklers nailing him at the same time.

Princeton rushed the ball 37 times for gains of 123 yards and leases of 21, making first...

Gamache, on the other hand, has everything to gain today, starting in the first big game of his life. His chances of starting the Yale game depend entirely on the impression he gives the coaches this afternoon...
