...game marked by brilliant forward passing the Freshman eleven was defeated by Andover Saturday by a 10-to-7 score. Although the Freshmen started off confidentially and scored a touchdown by powerful line bucking within the first eight minutes of play, Andover's later-season perfection of the forward pass proved too much for the 1920 defense. The game was a clean one, and few penalties were imposed...
...second period Andover surprised the Freshmen with brilliant forward passing and gained seven points by a pass over the goal line from Larkin to Hill and a goal by Crane. The last quarter started off well for the Freshmen, who made several long gains, but the ball was lost on a fumble and from that time on the playing was almost entirely in 1920's territory.

In the third quarter the second team was held for down on Groton's five yard line, an attempted forward pass failing on the fourth down. Again in the last quarter, Groton intercepted a forward pass on the 20-yard line, and prevented a score. Groton came near scoring in the second period, when the seconds held for downs on their own four-yard line...
...rejected as seemed best to the particular undergraduates involved. At times serious mistakes and misunderstandings have resulted, occasioning injury to Yale's name in the conduct of its athletic relations with other institutions. It has become increasingly evident that with the ever-changing nature of such control, as men pass from the college world to be succeeded by others of less experience, no permanent policy or fixed direction in athletic matters can be assured...
