...point that Captain Trafford has had the most trouble. Throughout the season the centre has been inferior to Yale's, and Yale has adopted, throughout the season, a style of play intended to take advantage of Harvard's weakness at centre. Harvard, in her turn, has been generally considered stronger at the tackles and ends than Yale. The work of her individual men has been brilliant, but critics have united in saying that Yale's team play is far superior to Harvard...

The wedge made its five yards through Harvard's centre with considerable frequency; but the general play of the centre men was a trifle stronger than it has been.

The ball was decided to have been put regularly in play and '93 took the ball only to lose it again immediately. '94's centre was stronger than that of their opponents and Blake broke through continually on the quarter-back. '93 had the ball after Hoag kicked and Parker made a beautiful run round left end. The umpire saw Chew hold Harding and disallowed it promptly. With the ball first at one end of the field and then...
