...work of the Yale team was a revelation. Notre Dame, considered as advanced exponents of Western football, and famed for deceptive open play and forward passes, came East confident of winning. Yale played conservative football during the first quarter, Notre Dame's backs skirting the ends for steady gains. Coach Hinkey's men, however, started the second quarter with a succession of hard line plunges intermingled with a series of double and triple passes that completely baffled the Western team. Notre Dame resorted to continual forward passing, but the Yale men had been taught a destructive defense for this open...
...backfield yesterday was composed of Swigert, quarter; Whitney and McKinlock, halfbacks; and King fullback. This backfield combination has power and drive in hitting the line; but its weakness is apparent on the defense. Swigert, at quarter, tackles low and hard so that his ability partly makes up for any of the other's deficiencies in this respect. McKinlock and Whitney have both shown exceptional improvement in punting and drop-kicking...
There was a great deal of shifting back and forth between those playing on either team, but the real first string team was made up with Soucy at centre, Weston and Withington, guards; Trumbull and R. C. Curtis, tackles; L. Curtis and J. E. P. Morgan, ends; Watson quarter, and Bradlee, Whitney and Harris in the backfield...
...Yale with a 3 to 0 lead, but Yale rallied in splendid style in the latter part of the game, carrying the ball across the line three times after successions of line plunges, end runs and forward passes. Yale put a crippled team in the field; Wilson, the veteran quarter, was out of the lineup, as was Ainsworth, halfback, Pumpelly, whose knee is again bothering him, and Van Holt, the guard who has been playing as well. Legore and Waite, a 155-pound quarterback, showed up splendidly. Knowles, Yale's best punter was injuries in the early part...
...University will put in the field. The past week has seen the removal of both Mahan and Logan from the backfield. This has necessitated the shifting of Hardwick from right end to Mahan's place in the backfield, and the substitution of Weatherhead at right end and Watson at quarter. These men, though they played well in the Springfield game, have not yet proved themselves up to standard. At all events, it is unfortunate that any but the strongest line-up must face Washington...
