Yale defeated West Point in a well contested game at West Point on Saturday by a score of 18 to 0. West Point has improved considerably both in offense and defense within the past two weeks, and it was with difficulty that Yale scored. The Yale team was weakened by the absence of Olcott, Sheldon and Gould. On the defense Yale was very strong and repeatedly forced West Point to punt, but the offensive work, though brilliant at times, was uneven, and some losses were sustained through slow starting.

...Carlisle game by a few simple tricks. Besides this, the Indians were able to gain fairly consistently on straight plays, especially around the ends. Since then, however, the ends have improved considerably, and it is probable that they are now as strong as last year.

Of the faults, those most in evidence are the slowness of the end men in getting down the field on kicks and the inability of the guards to open up holes for centre plays. All the line men run and tackle too high, and the chief reason why the team is weak on the defense is that the men do not adopt a low enough position...
...better than make a tie. On the next play, however, Kernan broke through a hole made by J. Lawrence and picking up his interference started for the goal. Devens, Daly, Barnard and Stillman all helped him along, and by shaking off one or two tacklers himself, he got past the whole Carlisle team for a touchdown. J. Lawrence kicked the goal...
