...HAVEN. Conn., October 1.--Yale defeated Tufts here today by a score of 34 to 6. The playing of the Yale team lacked snap but the interference was much improved so that Ward, Chadwick and Shevlin were able to make some long runs. Tufts scored on a quarterback kick...
...line-up between the first and second elevens brought out poor football. The first team backs showed some ability to gain on tackle plays, but, as a rule, were too slow in starting and fumbled frequently. The line failed to open holes and to get into each play with snap and vigor. Neither team did effective work. The line-ups: FIRST ELEVEN. SECOND ELEVEN. Burgess, l.e. r.e., Crocker.

Both teams made three errors, but those by Harvard were more costly. The playing of the visiting team lacked life and snap until the last inning when it was too late. With two outs and two men on bases, Bolton made a hard try for a hit, but was fielded out by Thompson...
Special attention was given to springing up quickly at the beginning of the recover. The emphasizing of this point prevented a very even beat in either boat, and the rowing was without snap. In a few quarter mile brushes, neither crew gained materially...
