...first game of the season Yale easily defeated Wesleyan 25 to 0. It was a game of open, spectacular playing, and Yale was much superior to the opponents in speed, strength, and team work. In the game with Syracuse the university team was able to score only two touchdowns and the work was very ragged and discouraging. The team made a somewhat better showing, however, in the game with Springfield Training School, in which 17 points to 0 were scored. Possibilities for a great eleven were shown, yet brilliant individual football rather than steady team play characterized the game...
During the first five minutes of play in the Brown game the visitors made repeated long gains around the ends and through the left side of the line. The Yale line quickly braced, however, proving almost impregnable through the rest of the game. The whole team played with a spirit and unity that had been wanting in nearly all the preliminary games; and their attack was irresistable. One of the touchdowns was made by a brilliant 40-yard run by T. Jones after catching a punt, the remainder by consistent gains through the line and around the ends. The team...
...Yale eleven fought a terrific uphill battle that in the end brought victory. To Jones' headwork in running the team and his long runs, together with Coy's fierce line charges and punting, belongs the chief credit of the victory. Cooney, Congdon and Goebel were good throughout the game; Congdon's tackling in the first half and Goebel's great line-smashing in the second, were especially noticeable. Captain Biglow was always the first to get through on the defense and was strong on the offensive. In the first half Princeton easily had everything its own way and scored...
...center men were by no means in a class with last year's men, and the main trouble has been in training these men for their positions. In the backfield it has been a problem to get speed enough. Up to the last half of the Princeton game the line had not worked together as well as it should, and the attack had been rather inconsistent. The defensive work has, in the main, been good, although Princeton gained at will during the first half of the game last Saturday. During the latter part of this game, however, the team showed...
With two defeats and two narrowly won victories behind it Captain Parker's team will face today an eleven which is generally reported to be one of the strongest Yale has ever produced. To a disinterested observer the outcome of the game may seem already settled. Those who are familiar with the Harvard team, however, very justly feel that it has possibilities which have only cropped out now and then in the early games. They know that a majority of the players are facing Yale for the last time, and that all their skill and energy will be used...
