...examples of poor individual playing. French was too slow in getting his kick away on nearly every punt, while La Roche twice showed poor headwork. First, when, in the last quarter of the game Yale had carried the ball to within ten yards of the Boston College ten-yard line by a series of desperate rushes, and then was thrown back three times by the stiffened Cavanaugh defense, La Roche attempted to make fourth down on a forward pass. And later, on another fourth down, he sent his backs through tackle in a vain effort to overwhelm the Boston line...
...Runs Wild," said the headlines. There was little resemblance between the hard hitting, smooth running machine which tallied 37 points against the Medfordians and the collection of players which had been routed the week before. The bewildering assortment of trick plays which Tufts uncorked failed to baffle the Blue line as they nailed the Blue and Maroon runner behind the line time and again. Tufts won their first down only twice. And despite the absence of Callahan, Murphy and Braden, the Elis pushed the disheartened men from Medford before them with little difficulty. They relied chiefly on line plunges, attempting...
...With the score six to six in the third quarter Neville hastily threw a lateral pass to Kempton. The pass went wild and fell to the ground. Scheerer, a Princeton substitute, scooped up the ball and before the Yale players knew what had happened, he had crossed the goal line for the winning touchdown...
...Yale has lost all three of her important games, with Princeton, Pennsylvania, and Cornell while the University lost the Pennsylvania and Princeton games but tied the Cornell game, 2-2. Both the Crimson and the Blue teams are evenly matched so that a close game is expected. The probable line-up of the University team is: g., Washburn; r.f.b., Carpenter; l.f.b., Glaser; r.h.b., Masters, c.h.b., Tilton; l.h.b., Heard; r.i.f., Smith; l.i.f., Henderson; c.f., Fisher; r.o.f., Kellett; l.o.f., Phillips...
...Harvard team will go on the field a favorite, its goal-line uncrossed except by Princeton two weeks ago. The Bulldog, on the contrary, is considerably the worse for wear; the claw-marks of the Tiger have not yet healed. Yet for that reason Yale, always a fighting organization, will fight harder than ever. It is Harvard's job to smother the grim, determined blue-jerseyed eleven, and we have faith that the Harvard machine can do it. The Crimson team has the driving, smashing power of a locomotive. Whether Yale can stop it remains to be seen...
