Yale was unable to make any headway until the fifth, when, with one out, Corey sent up a Texas leaguer back of shortstop. Cushman bunted for a sacrifice and was safe at first on Briggs's error. With men on first and second, Van Vieck hit to left field, scoring Corey and putting. Cushman on second. Philbin then clinched the game by a two-bagger that brought in two runs. Fels and Murphy were unable to maintain the rally and Philbin was left on third. In the seventh Yale scored again. Cushman drew a pass and stole second. Van Vleck...
...high order. The line men are charging low and hard, and in the game with Georgetown on Saturday, they opened up holes in the line, which the backs were quick to take advantage of.

No goal was kicked. The second again took the ball in the middle of the field. On a 30 yard run by Kent and several...
...rest and put through light work. The first eleven was composed almost entirely of substitutes. The work of both teams was loose and ragged, and marred by fumbling. The tackles-back formation was used by the first eleven for considerable gains but the second seemed unable to make much headway with this formation...
