...team. Yale is said to be much stronger in kicking than ever before, while the hopes of Harvard seem to have been placed on the rushing ability of their men. Experience has shown that while plucky tackling offsets the rushing of heavy weights, good kicking is not so easily got rid of, while a combination of first class kickers and fine strategic play in "passing" are the two principal essentials for success in a match. - [New York World...
...little while since, says the Lewiston, Me., Journal, four bold, bad sophomores in a certain college in this State went into the room of a freshman whom they judged to be verdant.

McGill was completely out-played in every point, and the ball...
...over-rate Yale's abilities, because of a sympathizing interest in so young a club. Now, while this infant Hercules did undeniably well, still her playing was by no means phenomenal. The team's whole game was defence; absolutely no attack at all except as far as they got the ball on Harvard's ground in their determination to keep it off their own. They deserve much praise for their checking, covering, mutual support and everything that goes to make up a strong resistance, but they have not as yet shown that they can win. Just the opposite of this...
