...strong fast backs-formed a team with admirable spirit and dash. Their great handicap was the absence of old 'varsity players in or behind the line. In the first game of the season with Trinity, which Yale won 10 to 0, the general impression was that Yale was playing a fast game and showing up better than at the same time last year.

The defensive, which has been Yale's weakest point all the season, was greatly strengthened, and renewed dash was infused into the team by the efficient work of the coaches. In no time during the year has Yale's improvement been so fast and lasting. In the Chicago game, the line held strongly, and in but a few instances were Chicago's backs able to gain around the ends. The reason for Yale's not scoring more...
