...whole three quarters, but Yale at last forced it away and were lining out for a try-at-goal before the Jersey men's posts when the time was called. The second three-quarters started off with a rush, and Yale tried to measure kicks with Princeton's celebrated half-back. In kick after kick the New Haven men lost ground, although Moffat punted and Yale took a place-kick each time. Yale, finding that she could not with advantage keep up a kicking game, settled down to steady rushing, in which they excelled. Twice Twombly sent the ball rolling...
...Rugby team to go east, as chosen by the committee, Olcott, Dott and Hutchinson, will probably consist of E. E. Beach, Bitner, Prettyman, list, Borden, Dott, and Killilea laws, forward; McNeil, lit, quarter-back; Gemmell, lit, and Moore, medic, half-back ; Olcott, lit, three-quarter back; and Gilmore, lit. goal keeper. The substitutes will very likely be Bonine, medic, and Wright, law. [Chronicle...
...final score last year, and Harvard began to feel victory near at hand. Moffat's famous kicking had not as yet been seen and so was not reckoned on, but the so and three quarters was nothing but a contest between the phenomenal kicking of this brilliant half-back and the dogged resistance of our eleven.

It is to be hoped, however, that our rush line will prove of sufficient strength and activity to more than counterbalance this strong half-back play. and if it proves to be so we need by no means despair of victory. Princeton's rush is comparatively light, and though her men are correspondingly active they ought to gain no advantage over our forwards. Our men are also gaining full confidence in the full-back...
...Tompkins, Peters, Farewell and Hyndman are now playing. A large gap is caused by the absence of Hull, the heaviest rusher, and Knapp, the end rusher. Twombly, the active quarter-back of last season, is again at his post and plays a fine game. Terry is a power at half-back, with his tremendous punts. In case Richards is unable to play half-back, Robinson, '85, will take his place. The rush line is very heavy, averaging 175 pounds. Bacon of the theological school, an old player, has been prevailed upon to resume his position as full back...
