...secured the victory. This was perhaps a relic of the ancient by-gone days when in no less of an affair than a championship intercollegiate contest the sympathizers of one of the contending teams swarmed on the field at the psychological moment and wrenched the goal posts form the ground to prevent their opponents from scoring a goal in the old-fashioned game...
...position. The present set, Corbett, White and Ver Wiebe, or Kennard in case Burr does not play, is strong and fast. White and Ver Wiebe play hard, aggressive games and are both good line plungers. Corbett and Leslie, who alternate at left halfback, have proved the best ground gainers, and their running through a broken field is particularly good. Kennard's kicking ability makes him first choice for fullback, but if Burr starts the game, he will probably not play, as Ver Wiebe is by far the better gainer...
...owing to his remarkable playing. The second touchdown for Yale was scored by Coy after gains of 25 and 10 yards. His work was the feature of the game, his individual playing enabling Yale to score. Tibbott also played remarkably well, keeping his feet in spite of the slippery ground and making long gains round the ends...
...team is unusually strong and has won every game played so far. They defeated Groton for the first time in five years and won from Exeter and the Brown freshmen, both of whom defeated the 1911 team last year. The backfield is especially strong, Pierce and Frothingham being consistent ground gainers. The Yale freshmen outweigh Harvard, and have shown a good deal of reserve power when hard pressed.

Thorpe's punt went over Cutler's head, and was recovered by Leslie on Harvard's 14-yard line. A fake Kick lost ground, and an onside kick went to Thorpe on the 18-yard line. His placement kick was blocked, but he recovered the ball twelve yards back, and Hendricks ran to Harvard's 6-yard line. Here the Harvard line held, and Carlisle lost the ball on downs. Nine plays netted fifteen yards...
