...greatest disappointment in the game from Yale's point of view was the work of Captain Howe. In addition to his costly fumbles, which were only in a small part excusable because of the slippery condition of the ball, his generalship and drop-kicking were poor. He came up to expectations only in open field running. Camp continued his fine offensive work for Yale, with Howe, making most of the gains. In the line the work of the Yale ends was conspicuous. Although the Princeton backfield gave them no chance to recover punts as White did, they stopped all attempts...
...Battery had by far the heavier and faster team, and it was only due to poor generalship that the score was not larger. The play was always in the Cadets' territory and the Battery goal-line was never in danger. The Battery scored its touchdown on a forward pass. Wadsworth sent the ball to Dana, who, aided by good interference, ran 17 yards to the goal-line. Dana kicked the goal, although the angle was an extremely difficult...
Neither Harvard nor Yale could score in their annual game at New Haven on Saturday afternoon, due to Harvard's costly mistakes and to Yale's powerful defence and superior generalship. Although the Harvard team was backed by the prestige of an unbroken series of victories this fall and was strong enough to make twice as many first downs as Yale in Saturday's game, yet Yale kept off defeat by an alertness which recovered every Harvard fumble occurring within scoring distance of Yale's goal...
...punting, and his work in this department was very effective, his seven punts in the first period averaging over 40-yards each. Of the substitute backs Campbell and Morrison, the latter made the longer gains and his defensive work was excellent. At quarterback Wigglesworth did not show as good generalship as he has in former games and he made some had fumbles. Although most of his forward passes were over the heads of the ends, he executed one in the last period to Lewis which gained 23 yards. As Gardner and Potter were only in for a sort time, little...
...play that broke through the primary defence. The offensive playing of Kistler was accurate and several times he got through the line, running directly behind Field, his interference. Captain Daly showed speed on end runs and was keen to size up the opposing plays. In addition to showing excellent generalship at quarterback, Howe punted consistently and was accurate in handling kicks. All the Yale linemen played hard defensive games, but the work of Scully showed up the best. He was particularly active, breaking through often, and several of Harvard's losses were due to his aggressiveness. Yale's best ground...
