...almost impossible for the stands to tell who was doing the work. Furthermore, regular linesmen were not then in vogue, and the spectators were left to guess as to whether the team with the ball had one, two or ten yards to go, or whether it was first, second or third down. In a word, to the spectator in the distant stand the game was a jumbled mass of men, and only the closest student of football knew what was going on. Hence the idea conceived by Mr. Irwin...

The interference, especially after kick-offs, was better than the week before when it was inclined to be ragged. There was less fumbling and better team play than had hitherto been shown.

New York stands second at Cambridge with 4 men; New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut are tied with four apiece for second place in the New Haven squad...
...Connecticut, 64 per cent. of the squad come from Massachusetts, with but extremely few from other states. At Yale, where almost no other large colleges are in the field, the case is entirely different. Her home state, Connecticut, does not lead, but rather ties with two others for second place, while the leader is but two points ahead...
