...line, neither side had much advantage, but Yale's backs were much stronger than those of Princeton, both in punting and rushing. Princeton also fumbled badly at times. Both sides were good on the offensive. Yale made long gains through the centre, and attacked that point in Princeton's line most frequently, though her end interference was also effective...
...minutes in the first half the play was very even, though Princeton seemed slightly the stronger. But Yale braced up, and before the half ended succeeded in scoring two touchdowns, one by Bass's long run, the other by short rushes of Jerrems, DeWitt and Thorne, aided by the failure of the kick which Thorne blocked...
...team into championship form. As far as Yale men are concerned, it is safe to say that not for the last five years has the result of this game seemed more doubtful or more difficult to predict. In former years Yale has had opportunities to measure their strength with stronger teams before meeting Princeton, but now the situation is reversed, as Yale has had no severe test, and her strength is still an unproved quantity.

Their line was stronger and their heavy backs did not find much trouble in getting through, especially to wards the close of the half when Harvard was very weak.

...line was excellent and gave Yale some much-needed practice.

Carlisle's work spoke well for their training by McCormick and predicted a stronger team in future years after the game has become better understood and more firmly established. On Saturday a 6 to 6 game was played with Brown at Providence. Yale put up a rather weak game and had difficulty in playing well together. Applications for the Princeton game are very numerous...
