Yale sustained a practical defeat at West Point on Saturday. Although the score gave the game the semblance of a draw the cadets practically won. During both halves the play was continually in Yale's territory, and it was only during the last half when there were but five minutes to play that Corwin secured the ball on a fumble and scored a fluke touchdown after a seventy yard...
...game showed that Yale is not so weak, as that West Point is remarkably strong. The showing made by the cadets in the Harvard game two weeks ago was an indication of their strength. It was expected that the score would be close, but a tie was not hoped for at West Point.

Reid outpunted Warren aided by the wind, and the Freshmen ends were as good if not better than the 'Varsity's in getting down the field on punts. In this particular, Whitney especially excelled. Peyton played a strong game against Haskell, succeeding near the end of the half in opening a large...
