...opponents, 19. Further statistical examination is even more in Harvard's favor, Yale having been held to tie scores three times,--twice by elevens of very minor importance--and has met one decisive 16 to 6 defeat, at the hands of Colgate. Equally striking, however, has been Yale's rapid late season progress, terminating in her 3 to 3 score against Princeton, in a contest in which she is generally admitted to have completely outplayed her opponents. Against this brilliant showing, Harvard has to offer only a rather doubtful exhibition against the Tigers; and a 37 to 0 victory over...
...York City, Friday November 7, 1913.--At 2 o'clock this afternoon on Osborne Field the fast and versatile Princeton football team will meet the University eleven in what promises to be one of the most closely fought contests of the season. Both teams have shown rapid improvement in the past week, and will start the game almost evenly matched. Princeton has confidence from its 54 to 0 victory over Holy Cross last Saturday, coupled with the fighting spirit instilled by the loss of the Dartmouth game the week previous. While the University team has had no chance to show...
...Williams sprung a rather surprisingly strong eleven, and although the game ended 23 to 3, the teams at the opening of the last quarter tied with one drop kick each. Near the end of the game, Williams's defence crumpled absolutely, allowing three touchdowns to be made in rapid succession by a substitute eleven...
...resulting score of 14 to 3 against a weak eleven showed that there was much to be done in the Tiger camp. The calibre of play was low, the men weak on the most fundamental points, and the team disorganized in action. Since that time, however, most rapid strides have been made. The three easy contests with Fordham, Bucknell and Syracuse following gave the team opportunity to study and eliminate weak points, to try out new line-ups and formations, and were of the greatest assistance to the coaches in every way. The progress of the team was concretely demonstrated...
...Central High School of Philadelphia 1 to 0, and the Crescent Athletic Club of Brooklyn 3 to 1. The Princeton backfield is excellent and plays a better game than the offensive division. The University team's season has been a series of defeats, but their late development has been rapid and they should show up well against the opposing eleven. Besides the team as given below, substitutes F. S. Hopkins, D. F. Fenn, Managers Storms and Chittenden, and Coach Burgess will make the trip. The probable line-up will be as follows: l.o.f., Weld; l.i.f., Carnochan; c.f., Baker; r.i.f., Foster...
