Basing its hopes on a fast, powerful backfield, the expectation that the week's practice has considerably strengthened the line, and a double and triple lateral pass that has proved decidedly effective thus far Yale looks forward to a victory. The line is inexperienced, and consequently the chances of success depend as much on its unknown ability to stop the Princeton attack as upon the known brilliancy of the Yale backfield. It is certain that the backfield is decidedly superior in every way to the Princeton combination. Wilson, Ainsworth, Knowles, and LeGore forming one of the best offensive machines that...
...hoped that the voluntary contribution of such a sum by the undergraduates of the University will not pass unnoticed or unrewarded, but will prove the opening wedge that will eventually result in the construction of a new and modern gymnasium through equal loyalty on the part of the graduates...
...holes for consistent gains. Yale used a substitute backfield throughout the game, and the men played well. Ainsworth, Scovil, Easton, and Guernsey ripped the Brown line to pieces and three times marched down the entire length of the field in short steady gains.

The fumbling of both elevens was conspicuously noticeable throughout the contest, neither team seeming capable of hanging on to the ball...
...Forward passing constituted a good part of the repertoire of plays of both the elevens, but not much success attended the numerous attempts. Straight old-fashioned line-plunging and a succession of punts were again the dominant factors in the ground gaining of either team.

The second team's attack was chiefly line-plunging, while Dean had a varied assortment of wide end runs and forward passes. The two teams were evenly matched for most of the game. Each side scored a touchdown in the second quarter, the second team on a forward pass to Stanton, and Dean on an end run, after open play had brought the ball within ten yards of the goal. In the fourth quarter Dean...
