...touchdowns. The opponents were amateurish, imperfect in signals, and weak in the line. They could not gain consistently by either massed or open plays, and only three times held the ball on the Crimson side of the 50-yard line, never penetrating nearer than 25 yards. In the second quarter, time was called when Bates had just gotten into position for an attempt at a field goal. Near the end of the last period an attempt was actually made after a forward pass had placed the ball on the 28-yard line, but the kick went very wide...
...only 20 yards away from the goal. Three rushes, two by Brickley and one by Mahan found paper spots in the opponents' line and resulted in another touchdown and goal. This time Bates kicked to Harvard's 17-yard line, Mahan making 13 yards before he was stopped. The quarter ended with it Harvard's ball on her own 30-yard line, and the score...
...defend its goal. At New Haven, Hinkey, "the silent coach," seems to be developing a fast, shifty backfield and a sturdy line with a low charge. The work of the men behind the line featured Saturday's contest. Ainsworth and Knowles, the veteran halfbacks, and Wilson, last year's quarter, contribute experience and dependability to a backfield which has acquired increased efficiency through the addition of LeGore, the sensational player of last year's Freshman's team, who, at fullback has proved his value as a plunger, as a runner, and as a kicker. As to the tactics which Yale...
...material for the backfield is especially promising. Glick appears the most likely man for quarter, no one else having been given a serious try-out there. Law and F. Trenkmann, Baker's running mates last year, are in fast company, and will have to work hard to hold down their jobs against Driggs, Dickerman, and Tibbott. The latter is especially dangerous in an open field...
...Talbot, Connor and Pidgeon will all be used at quarter, it seems, and all three are brainy workers. Talbot is a veteran and his experience gives him the preference, but both Connor and Pidgeon are too good not to receive an opportunity to work. Talbot was badly injured in the Harvard game last year and the coaches will make an effort to save him this year because he is a valuable baseball man. Connor, except for his extreme lightness, would probably have the call over both Pidgeon and Talbot. He is faster and handles the ball cleaner. He is also...
