...University second football team has ended a season which has been signally successful in that it accomplished the two main results for which it aimed; the possible betterment of the University eleven derived from practice and scrimmage with the second team; and a successful completion of its own schedule. Forty-six men were on the squad, from which a regular "H second" team was chosen and a scrub eleven called the "Crows" which played in the Haughton cup series. The dominant factor in the team's success was the excellent coaching afforded the team. Head Coach R. F. Guild...
Basing its hopes on a fast, powerful backfield, the expectation that the week's practice has considerably strengthened the line, and a double and triple lateral pass that has proved decidedly effective thus far Yale looks forward to a victory.

If we are to compete successfully with Princeton and Yale, who have adopted the same system, there must be a hearty response to the increased opportunity for successful competition by the undergraduates...
While its impetus has decreased, it should not be allowed to stop entirely. Each class should add something to the fund, for the raising of so large an amount of money, even for so desirable an object, is a matter of time and patience. Success in two and a half years could hardly be expected...
