Kidder for his kicking. Mills, Hurley, Leatherbee, Sard and Randall, for their ground gaining and Elkins for his generalship and alert playing, were especially prominent in the game; but every man on the team exhibited on admirable spirit and all equally deserve the credit of winning...
...Freshman eleven had two short practice line-ups yesterday afternoon, one against the second Freshman team and the other against the Seniors. There was a decided improvement in team work and, though the ground and ball were wet, there was little fumbling. The defensive work against the lighter second team was excellent, but the line did not hold together well against the Seniors, who made some substantial gains through tackle and guard. Later on, however, with the ball in their possession, the Freshman eleven started more quickly and pushed steadily down the field by means of line plunges. The interference...
...interchange of Goss and Olcott, who at the beginning of the season played left tackle and guard respectively, is likely to be a permanent one. Goss, being the heavier man of the two, is better qualified for the middle of the line, while Olcott is quicker and has that ground-gaining ability which is essential in a Yale tackle. Holt has been playing consistently at centre, and Hamlin is a promising substitute for this position as well as for tackle, where he has already played in a number of games this season. Glass, right guard, is the most brilliant player...
...game in all but one particular. He was slow in getting down the field on kicks, but though he did not tackle the player who caught the ball, succeeded in turning him in. Bowditch was very valuable in helping the runner along, and succeeded in adding materially to the ground gained. Campbell was also slow in getting down on kicks, and did not get into the plays as actively as did Bowditch...

A great fault in his playing was a failure to continue blocking his opponent after making the first charge Lee played a steady and fairly r liable game, but did not take sufficient care in charging Teas. Sargent's passing showed improvement and his playing on both offense and defense showed strength and speed. Barnard opened large holes but hid not handle his opponent effectively. He frequently allowed Mitchell to interfere with the centre and quarterback, and though this resulted in penalties...
