...largely due to the generalship and steadiness of Captain Howe that Yale displayed as good a game as she did. True, he handled two or three punts badly, but he was the only man on the field who could make any considerable gain on running back a punt, and it was he who instilled a snap into the Yale team which contrasted with the rather slow preparation of the Harvard men.
