Yale's forward line was without the services of the captain and star, Burgess, who is a fast, aggressive player. His absence was certainly felt; but Jacob, who took his place at rover, played a good game, proving to be Yale's strongest offensive factor. Percy played his usual fast, hard game for the University. The wing pairs were about evenly matched. Thacher played effectively, but both the University wings lagged a little behind the centres...
