...repeated this performance. This was followed by an exhibition game between the first two teams of the second squad. Although the first-string-men were given the ball near the middle of the field, they soon lost it on a fumble, and were forced back to their ten-yard line in five successive plays. Here the performance ended with a blocked pass...
...were many examples of poor individual playing. French was too slow in getting his kick away on nearly every punt, while La Roche twice showed poor headwork. First, when, in the last quarter of the game Yale had carried the ball to within ten yards of the Boston College ten-yard line by a series of desperate rushes, and then was thrown back three times by the stiffened Cavanaugh defense, La Roche attempted to make fourth down on a forward pass.

Horween and E. L. Casey '19 alternated in carrying the ball to within the ten-yard line, from which point an unsuccessful forward pass went over the goal line for a touchback. A double exchange...
