...Coach Fisher's team; it needs our backing, and it has it. We must not fail that team for an instant. For the Bulldog's teeth are sharp; and today, as never before, is it true that a Harvard-Yale game is not won "till the last white line is passed...
...experienced and more powerful University team had little trouble in smashing through the Colby line to a 35-0 score on October 11. Colby fought hard, but could make no headway against the Crimson men. The most notable part of the contest from the Harvard view-point was the successful completion of all of the five attempted forward passes. The University players showed more ability and power in opening holes in the line, but exhibited poor interference in the open field. No brilliant plays were made although Casey, F. C. Church '20, R. S. Humphrey '21, and A. D. Hamilton...
...score on October 18. The touchdown came in the first quarter when an 80-yard march down the field swept the Brown team off its feet. During the second half a series of criss-cross plays took the Brown football machine from their own 25-yard line to the University's 22-yard mark before the Crimson men could stop the onrush. J. K. Ryan Occ and P. D. Steele '20 in the end berths, accounted for many brilliant plays. R. M. Sedgwick '21 and Hamilton were largely responsible in stopping their opponents' advance. It was during this game that...
...University of Virginia team 47-0 on October 25, exhibiting a far surer and more finished game than they had hitherto played. Excellent interference cleared the path for long runs by Murray, Humphrey and Church. The latter played an all-around smashing game and scored two touchdowns by his line plunges. During the very first minute of play Murray tore off 42 yards which was shortly followed by a touchdown by A. Horween '20, made after a 20-yard run. On the kick-off afterwards Humphrey ran back the ball 67 yards to the 30-yard line...
...touchdown that evened the score. The Orange and Black team showed its most powerful offense in the first quarter when it marched down the field from the Princeton 10-yard mark to a touchdown. The University scored in the last period by a pass over the goal line from W. B. Felton Occ. to Casey. With defeat or a tie at stake Church kicked the goal from a difficult angle. Casey played a wonderful game by his long dashes and his dodging runs, netting in all 182 yards...
