Stagg played half-back on the Yale team Saturday...
...Second half.- After some running and kicking by the Pennsylvania half-back, the ball was brought to Yale's 30-yard line. Then Yale forced the ball back to Pennsylvania's 25-yard line. Morrison here tried for a goal from the field but missed. The ball was then brought out and after much careless play and good rushes by Morrison and Wallace, the latter finally made a touchdown. Goal. Score, 28-0. Pennsylvania just before this had been forced to make a safety. In a few minutes, Gill made a touchdown, from which Beecher kicked a goal. Soon Gill...
...third, but no goal was kicked. Butler soon got the ball and scored. Goal. The ball was brought out, but only for a moment, for Woodman carried it back. No goal. Score. 36-0.

Rhodes is also a good man and although a good rusher...

Good work by the rush line enabled Sears to make a touchdown. Goal. Stearns, Amherst's half-back, rushed finely but was well tackled by Nichols. Amherst lost the ball which was passed to Wood who made a run of half the length of the field and placed the ball directly between Amherst's goal posts...
