...additions to the basic structure; none the less the team that can tackle, block, work together as a machine, and hold the ball will make trouble for the best of them. So with Harvard; the best thing the Cambridge system does is to implant fundamentals; it is what Rush is trying to do with Princeton and Jones with Yale. You will see today at the Stadium, beyond a doubt, a band of coaches who are not thinking much at the present time about November, and what this man or that man may or may not do; they are teaching basic...
From present indications Yale's 1916 football team promises to be the heaviest in several seasons. No team since the giant combination captained by Gordon Brown in 1900 has tipped the scales for more pounds. Three of the rush line weigh more than 200 pounds each, and one of the backfield is close to that weight. Zenner, from the freshman team last year is the champion heavy-weight of the combination, weighing 225 pounds. Zenner is rated as companion guard to Captain Black, another of the 200 pounders. The rush line alone averages 194 pounds...

...Princeton football candidates have been practising at Lake Winnewaska, New York, for the last two weeks. Coach Rush has been playing particular attention to drop and place kickers of ability, and recent cold weather has given the coaches an opportunity to hold scrimmages. In the backfield of the first eleven were Haas, Moore, Driggs and Mathiasen, and these men showed up strongly on both the offensive and defensive...
This amalgamated committee of fourteen members has spent the last ten years in making football a better game. They have made the old-time "rush-line scrapping" a thing of the past by the establishment of a neutral zone between the two forward lines; they have instituted reforms in the forward pass, and in the mass play...
