Following the hardest week of practice the team had had, West Point won a punting duel on the twenty-first. A field of mud and water severely handicapped both teams, though West Point suffered the less. Yale was defeated for the first time in years by a blocked kick...
Keyed up for revenge for the defeat in 1910, the team crushed Brown, 15 to 0, the next week. From end to end, from centre to back there was "lift and drive" that tore Brown to pieces.
