...work before Christmas when the team repeatedly defeated the B. A. A. in practice scrimmages. The principal weakness seems to lie in the crude team-play. The men carry the puck down the ice well individually but lose it at the critical moment near the goal on slow and poor passing. The second team defence, however, has been playing an exceptionally strong game of late and this accounts in some measure for the apparently weak showing of the attack. The first team defence appears more advanced than the forward line and is playing a steady though not brilliant game...
...shoot with Harvard and Princeton at the Yale traps Saturday, Yale won with a total of 396 points, Princeton was second with 393, and Harvard a poor third, being thirty three points be hind Princeton. White of Princeton was high gun with 85 out of a possible 100 bird. R. Bullock '15 of Harvard was a close second with 84. Although Yale's average was consistently good, none of the shooting was considered extraordinary...
Phillips Andover Academy tied the University second football team with a score of 7 to 7, at Andover yesterday.

The Andover open-field interference was excellent, and this, combined with poor tackling by the Harvard players, enabled the school team to hold...
...first real test of the season came in the Dartmouth game last Saturday, which Princeton won, 22 to 7.

Baker made a run of 75 yards through the entire Dartmouth team after receiving a punt. De Witt proved a strong, consistent worker...
...hard program today, being kept on the field almost three hours. First came a scrimmage with the scrubs lasting about 45 minutes, during which the Varsity was kept entirely on the defensive. Though the Varsity's tackling was still far from perfect, and the work of the ends poor, there was noticeable improvement in the line. The scrubs could make no steady gains, their plunges being repeatedly thrown back. They scored once, however, when a thirty-yard end run by Hammond brought the ball to the one-yard line, and a rush by Thompson, the former all-Western star, carried...
