...second half Syracuse's defense weakened and Yale's attack improved. The first kickoff was run back 20 yards from the 15-yard line and a touchdown was soon made. Jones, the substitute quarter-back distinguished himself in this half. Once he ran back a punt 35 yards and a second time with only three minutes left to play scored a touchdown after a 30-yard run on a fake kick.

Both Kinney and Hogan are developing strength in the tackles-back formations. Metcalf has played steadily at quarter-back. Two sets of backs are now being used, the first including Chadwick left half, Ward right half, and Farmer full-back, and the second Preston left half, Allen right half, and Bowman fullback. The defensive play of the backs, which has been rather a weak point all fall, fails...
