...offensive system more nearly approached perfection in the Boston University game when the Providence eleven opened the contest with a slashing advance, taking a defensive stand only in the final period. Against Yale also the straight line drives met with success, for the Brunonians scored more first downs and gained more territory by rushes than their visitors. It was only the brilliant long runs by Neidlinger that were responsible for Yale's three touchdowns. With the two weeks in which Coach Robinson will have had to perfect his offensive play, the team will be in a position to take...
...double header before the opening of College marked the beginning of the season this year, but instead the Crimson met Middlebury College in the initial encounter on September 30. The first string men appeared to good advantage in the first half of this game when they scored a touchdown in seven plays after the kick-off and a few moments later added six points more. As soon as Coach Fisher began putting his substitutes into play, however, Middlebury twice held the red-jerseyed team for downs and itself made four Arst downs in succession, only to have Pfaffman intercept...
...points apparent from analysis of the season is that the Crimson has not yet met any excellent opposition and is consequently still practically an untried machine as respects a prediction as to how much power it can show against the Tigers today.

The doubt arises as to how strong the defence will prove to be against the onslaughts of such runners as Cleaves, Crum, and Caldwell...
...record of the Princeton first year men is hardly indicative of the outcome of today's contest, since they too tied Andover 0-0, while the other teams on their schedule have not met the Crimson Freshmen. The Princeton yearlings have defeated Lawrenceville 19-7 and Fordham 1926 31-0, and have lost to Mercersburg 3-0 and to the Yale first year men 21-0. The team's greatest weakness appears to be in the line, which lacks plunging power, but the outstanding star is Gates at left tackle, who has proved himself a punter of real merit. Caulkins...
...October 14 Princeton met her first real opposition in Colgate. Although out-played for the greater part of the game, Princeton was victorious, 10 to 0, chiefly through the brilliancy of Cleaves, who intercepted a pass and unaided ran 70 yards through a broken field for a touchdown. The punting of Cleaves was the feature of the game as well as several excellent run backs of kicks which he executed in the second half. The Princeton line was completely outplayed in the opening periods but later stiffened and more than held...
