...runner out of condition is not so efficient as a less able one who is physically fit. Coach Lothrop was directly responsible for an error in judgment, Captain Dodge indirectly so, because he was not on hand to oversee the team. The material was there, but the foresight and headwork were lacking. In this respect Yale was superior, and we do not wish to belittle her victory. But when defeat has come as the result of our own negligence and folly it is doubly hard to bear...
...most remarkable recoveries known to football history, the Yale team last Saturday defeated Princeton by the score of 12 to 10. Starting in the second half with the odds all against them the Yale eleven fought a terrific uphill battle that in the end brought victory.

As this was the fist game against a strange pitcher, this fault may remedy itself after more games have been played. In base running a lack of headwork was shown that might have proved costly in an important game. On two occasions it was only the poor playing of the opposing team that prevented the runner from being put out. The fielders had little to do, but considering the poor condition of the diamond, covered their positions satisfactorily...
During the first seven innings the Freshmen played well and took full advantage of their opponents' weakness. Their hits were timely and well-placed, and their fielding fast and accurate. Towards the end of the game, however, their playing became very listless, and carelessness and lack of headwork in base-running lost several runs...
