...Springfield eleven on October 10, winning by the score of 12 to 0 and, therefore, this game should afford a good opportunity for judging the relative strength of Harvard and Yale this year. In the game with Springfield Yale used the forward pass with a fair measure of success, but failed to make a higher score on account of costly fumbles. At times the Springfield backs made consistent gains through the Yale line, and for that reason it is expected that the game this afternoon will be harder than any the University eleven has played so far this season...
Groton used the forward pass during the first half with great success, each play netting from 15 to 30 yards. The Groton line was strong and Nichols was unusually fast in the backfield. Fish punted well for the Freshmen and the work of the team as a whole was good...
...yards in two plays, after which Osborne gained 8 yards more. On a rush through right tackle, Lockwood secured a touchdown, and Foster kicked the goal. For the rest of the time the ball vacillated between the 30-yard lines. Several forward passes were tried, but with rather poor success. The line-up for the scrimmage follows: FIRST ELEVEN. SECOND ELEVEN. Miller, l.e. r.e., Washburn Osborne, l.t. r.t., Robinson Gilmore, Burr, l.g. r.g., Brock Fraser, c. c., Plumb Kersburg, r.g. l.g., Burns Warren, r.t. l.t., Somes Orr, r.e. l.e., Harding Hall, q.b. q.b., Cate Foster, l.h. r.h., Howes, Rand Lockwood...
...ball in the middle of the field, Lockwood made ten yards and then fumbled; but Burr regained the ball and advanced it five yards to the 45-yard line. Lincoln rushed a few yards in the next scrimmage, and then Mason was given the ball three times in succession, gaining 9 yards on the first two plays and 12 on the third. Lincoln made two more yards through right tackle, downing the ball on the second team's 10-yard line. The next play was fumbled, Warren regaining the ball with a slight loss. Hall at once tried a drop...
...distance, twice on misplays by Maine. For the most part the scoring was done by means of ordinary line rushes, though most of the plays were farther from the centre than they would have been under the old rules. The forward pass was often tried, but only once with success, by the University team. The quarterback kick, on the other hand, several times secured long gains for the University eleven. Fumbles were frequent, and the Maine team was penalized twice for holding, and the University team once for the same offence and once for offside play...
