...material and indifferent coaching. This year Yale has had mediocre material and as good coaching as Yale can produce. The result has been different from that of 1910 when a revision of the coaching policy at the eleventh hour practically saved the day. This year, the team has been slow in developing, and even at best its work has always been more or less erratic. In the Princeton game, the team showed marked weakness in elementary football, such as following the ball, diversity of attack, and backing up the men who received the ball on each play, a fault which...

From the very start, the development was slow, and throughout the entire season constant shifts in the line-up were necessitated. Injuries to the players added new difficulties, for in no recent season has the Dartmouth squad suffered so heavily or so severely in injuries to the members of its football squad. In no two successive games has the Green presented the same backfield, because of the incapacity of some of the backs...
...squad was then divided into two teams, A and B, for a 30-minute scrimmage, which proved rather slow, except for two good runs by Spang, and one by Logan. After team A had scored twice the regular first team lined up against the second, Pennock and Trumbull being in the line again after a few days' rest.
