...first 3 to 2 in a 25-minute scrimmage in the Arena yesterday. Until the last few minutes of play, the first team had failed to score, while the second had tallied three times, two of the goals being shot from scrimmage and the other on a fast rush by the whole forward line. Shortly before the end of the scrimmage Gorham, who replaced Phillips at right centre, scored for the first team. Sortwell followed a minute later with the final goal...
...second half opened with a rush and three seconds after the opening Smart, who had replaced Morgan at right wing, caged the puck from a scrimmage in front of the Technology goal. With this lead the regulars were taken out and during the rest of the period honors were about even with little good hockey in evidence...
...last Saturday, which ended in a remarkable 6 to 6 tie, was a splendid example of defensive football at its best. Neither team could gain consistently when within its opponents' 25-yard line and as a result both chose to try goals from the field rather than attempt to rush the ball across the line. Both teams played safe, few tricks or end formations being tried. Princeton absolutely abandoned the forward pass. Yale used the pass several times with but little success...
...third quarter the ball was kept well within Princeton territory until the last minutes of play when a series of line-rushes and a forward pass brought the ball dangerously near Harvard's goal. Failure to rush the ball across the line gave the ball to Harvard, however, and at the beginning of the last quarter Mahan punted it over the heads of the Princeton backs. This quarter was without other large gains by either team...
...uncertain test of comparative scores there appears little to choose between the two teams. In fact, the most noticeable feature in a comparison between them is the close similarity of their merits and defects. Both backfields have displayed the same consistent, and at times spectacular, ability, and both rush lines have shown the same uncertainty in both offensive and defensive work. In the games with Brown and Dartmouth last Saturday both teams showed the same urgent need of more practice in tackling. Predictions as to the result of a game between two teams so evenly matched are practically impossible...
