...Cutler is an example of what can be accomplished by careful coaching and consistent work. He has improved with every game, become a safer man in the backfield, and has been depended upon for the greater part of the punting since Burr was injured. Last Saturday he ran his team well, got his plays off with speed and smoothness and used good judgment. His work with the forward pass was excellent. Cutler had never played quarterback until this year, and for the last two years has played practically no football...
...tackles, Fish and MacKay, are generally conceded to be two as good linemen as Harvard has had in some time. They are both excellent on the defense, and Fish's work not only in the line, but in catching forward passes, stands out above the rest of the team...
...beginning of this year the prospects for a highly successful football season at Yale were very bright.

In the second half, many substitutes were put in who could not gain consistently through the Wesleyan line. Against Syracuse, a week later, the team could only score one touchdown. The work was ragged and rather discouraging. Eighteen points were rolled up against Holy Cross on October 10, in a game that showed much promise. The offense was still slow in starting, but on the defense, both the line and the backs showed marked improvement. The Army...
During the next two weeks Yale had two easy victories, defeating Washington and Jefferson by the score of 28 to 0, and overwhelming the Massachusetts Agricultural College team by the score of 49 to 0. Both games showed a fast attack with good interference for the runner. The light opposing teams could not withstand the rushes of the heavy Yale backs. The fumbling of the team at critical moments was apparent...
