...upperclass football practice yesterday consisted of short games. The Seniors played one long half with the Freshmen, and scored a touchdown on a 40 yard run. The Freshmen played better at every point, and their team work was far superior to the Seniors, but they were held for downs by superior weight. The Freshmen made many gains through centre, as the three centre men on the Senior team charged too high. The Senior ends played out too far, and allowed some gains on end plays...
...game between the Yale and Princeton freshmen was won by Yale, 11 to 0. Superior weight and a fair execution of the tackles-back play gave Yale an advantage which was increased by the speed and snap with which the men played. Princeton once had the ball on Yale's three yard line but was held for downs...

The backs started more quickly and every man seemed to get into the play. The first team formed a more compact interference and by superior team work scored two touchdowns and a safety. The second team, by very aggressive playing, almost secured a touchdown, but was held for downs on the 5 yard line...
