...Yale offending five times to the University's three, the Blue recovering all but one of its own fumbles. E. L. Casey '19 made all three fumbles for the Crimson, two being on kick-offs and the third when a hard tackle by Moseley made him drop a forward pass he had barely received. LaRoche and Jacques were responsible for Yale's fumbles, especially the former, who, although he played a good offensive game, was unable to judge the University's punts accurately...
...about to roll across the Crimson goal line. Legore's punting was decidedly off form for twice he kicked straight up into the air. The University failed to take advantage of these breaks, however, losing the first opportunity on a penalty and the second on an intercepted forward pass...
...University was kept so constantly in its own half of the gridiron that there was little chance for developing a forward passing game. All told, the Crimson tried 12 passes, but of these nine were in the fourth quarter. Two were successful, four intercepted and the remainder incompleted. In the final period C. A.

Legore made 25 yards around right end, the University was penalized five yards for being off-side, and a pass, Legore to Gates, netted 14 more, placing the ball on the University's seven-yard line. Yale could not advance, however, and before Legore could throw an attempted pass on fourth down, G. C. Caner '17 broke through and ran him back ten yards, giving the University the ball...
High praise, indeed Another instance, showing his speed and ability to size up a play, was when he appeared like a shot and smeared a forward pass that Ames was about to receive with an open field for a touchdown. There is every reason to believe he will turn himself loose in his last game for the Blue, which, as we said above, will make the Casey vs. Legore for sensations complete. Boston Traveler...
