...University's first score came as a result of some capital line-plunging by Owen, his solo march up the field aided and abetted by two 15-yard penalties that could but take the growl out of the Tigers. Horween hurdled center for the score, one of the few times he handled the ball, due to injuries to neck and finger that placed him at an emphatic disadvantage that makes his exhibition the more to be respected. The last minute advance to the spectacular Buell Macomber score has been all but set to poetry in the last twenty-four hours...

...looked at. The college should keep in view that nine men can not win a Yale game; but nine hundred and nine can. If the nine plays a spiritless game, as has been alleged, it doesn't make matters better to sit up in your room and smoke and growl. If the college shows spirit the nine can't help but do so. One would think the whole college was trying for the glee club, the way men save their voices. I have frequently seen more enthusiasm at a funeral...
