...developing a quarterback, Coach Haughton had an even more difficult task. The material was very limited, and in a short time was sifted down to three men, Browne, Cutler and Galatti. But Browne was too valuable a man at end, and after a short time went back to the line. Cutler is an example of what can be accomplished by careful coaching and consistent work. He has improved with every game, become a safer man in the backfield, and has been depended upon for the greater part of the punting since Burr was injured. Last Saturday he ran his team...
...field under punts. In Brown, Cutting and Houston, they have very able substitutes. The tackles, Fish and MacKay, are generally conceded to be two as good linemen as Harvard has had in some time. They are both excellent on the defense, and Fish's work not only in the line, but in catching forward passes, stands out above the rest of the team...
...season at Yale were very bright. Both guards from last year's team, Cooney and Geebel, had returned; Brides, Philbin, Murphy and Coy, all of whom played in the backfield last year, were eligible; Andrus. Hobbs and Kilpatrick of the winning 1911 team could fill other places in the line. The chief problem was to find a centre and a quarterback. Because of frequent injuries, the end positions have been very unsettled; but it is probable that Captain Burch will play one of them today. The guards and tackles were well filled from the beginning. At centre Biddle developed very...
...first game of the season, Yale defeated Wesleyan by two touchdowns, scoring both of them in the first half by straight line-rushing. In the second half, many substitutes were put in who could not gain consistently through the Wesleyan line. Against Syracuse, a week later, the team could only score one touchdown. The work was ragged and rather discouraging. Eighteen points were rolled up against Holy Cross on October 10, in a game that showed much promise. The offense was still slow in starting, but on the defense, both the line and the backs showed marked improvement. The Army...
...Brown game, Yale was outclassed by the visitors. The team played a listless game and gave miserable protection to the man with the ball. In punting alone were the visitors excelled. It was only after Brown had scored that Yale braced and played a hard, steady game, using line plays and forward passes with equal success. Yale's first tally was the result of a beautiful place-kick by Coy, from the 30-yard line. The touchdown came from a forward pass on the 20-yard line. The final score...
