...work of the eleven, the game with Williams being the best yet played on the home grounds. The new material showed up well, but new and old are open to criticism for fumbling. Captain Draper considers Yale weaker than Harvard in defense, but better in interference and sharper in play. The line is receiving more attention than the backs from coaches and captain, and an improvement in linework will make the team vastly stronger.

Two touch-downs were made in short order and Trafford made a beautiful kick, scoring a goal from the field. Gray...
