...Swain, though the lightest candidate, has shown good quality of work throughout the year. He is aggressive, tackles hard and accurately and runs fairly well with the ball. Wheeler is gaining all the time. He puts up a fierce game and would be invaluable but for his tendency to get offside. He also uses his arms too freely in blocking. Mills, who has the capacity of making one of the best football players in college, mars his brilliant work by continued offside penalties and by allowing himself to be pocketed or drawn through so far as to leave a hole...
...guard Bouve is showing up well both on the offensive and defensive. If he showed a little more fierceness in his play there would be little fault to find with him. Haskell is steady and strong.

The management offers to every college man an opportunity to get seats for himself and his friends, and every signature on a blank means that the signer accepts the favor as such. Just how any gentleman can distort that privilege of application into a license to fleece his friends by compelling them to do without seats or pay extortionate prices for them, it is difficult to understand. Some methods of making money are forbidden by law and called dishonesty. Others...
Yale has a serious handicap to overcome this year. Her men are all young and inexperienced players and have the consequent tendency to fumble and get rattled, which may be very costly in the big games. She has, however, material which is bound to develop in another year into a strong and aggressive team...
