...practice yesterday was not quite so encouraging as that of the previous day, the first eleven scoring but one touchdown and a safety in a 12-minute scrimmage. The forward pass and the onside kick, however, were used to good advantage. Before the scrimmage the squad was given a rather long and hard practice, which possibly accounts for the low score. While the second squad was passing the ball around and punting, the first team men tried ralling on the ball, a point in which they still need practice. The backs and ends, under the direction of Coach Brown...
...Nourse kicked off for the second team to Peirce, who ran back from the 30 to the 35-yard line. Hall made 8 yards around right end.

The University team secured the ball on its 49-yard line on a punt, and after rushing a few yards, was put back 15 yards for holding. Hall gave Miller a quarterback...
...Yale football team defeated Syracuse Saturday afternoon at New Haven by the score of 51 to 0. Practically all through the game Yale's light, quick eleven outplayed the heavy Syracuse team by resorting to an open kicking game, for great gains were made on short kicks Yale men recovering the ball. Although the Syracuse eleven seemed to get off their plays with fair speed, Yale's strong secondary defence repeatedly stopped them before the necessary ten yards could be gained. T. Jones made several long runs, one the entire length of the field, carrying the ball from a kick...
