...withstand the attacks of the truly brilliant backfields, as will depend on the known strength of these backfields. Perhaps slightly the superior in the line, and of equal power in the backfield, the University team will rely for supremacy to a great extent on the drop-kicking ability of Mahan...
...Mahan and LeGore are probably the most brilliant players on their respective teams. LeGore, the "find" of the Yale season, passes exceptionally well, has demonstrated his ability to dodge opposing tacklers in a remarkable fashion, is extremely fast, and punts commendably. Mahan uses a change of pace, which is very deceptive to the tackler, has had a great deal of useful experience, and also passes exceptionally well.

...defeated Princeton in the Stadium by the score of 20 to 0. The playing of the University team was excellent. The superiority of the University backfield was conspicuously marked, the attack gaining 285 yards in 83 rushes to the 35 yards that 21 attempts netted the opponents. Mahan proved his versatility by kicking two field-goals and showing his usual brilliancy in open-field running.
