...greatest obstacle facing the coaches at present is in developing an efficient quarterback. Cornell, Cornish, Dyer and Loftus were all given an opportunity in Saturday's game but none of them seems able to run the team with the smoothness and judgment which have characterized Yale quarterbacks in former years...
...long hard scrimmage. The only important change in the line was at right guard, where Trumbull replaced Driscoll during the earlier part of the afternoon. Wendell was again at his old position of fullback. Gardner was on the field, but did not play, Logan taking his place at quarterback...
...backfield will do without the services of Captain Wendell in today's game but will nevertheless be a strong aggregation. Gardner will start at quarterback, where he has had experience for two years on the University eleven.

Hardwick receiving the ball for the University on his 15-yard line and running it back 30 yards. On the next play the seconds seemed to have weakened, for Brickley smashed through tackle for a 55-yard run to a touchdown. Freedley might have tackled him again, had there...
