...Hadley '20, who was at right tackle for the Cadets, tried for a goal from the field but missed, the ball hitting Sands, the Battery quarterback. Cannon, who played end for the Cadets, fell on the ball on the five-yard line, and Snow went over for a touchdown on the next play. R. Hadley '20 kicked the goal...
...averaged 37 yards to 31 for Legore. His second punt of the game carried a total distance of 80 yards including the roll, and it was this kick which put the ball in Yale's territory for the greater part of the first period. Horween also prevented a possible touchdown, or at least a safety, when Robinson, misjudging one of Legore's punts, was hit by the bounding ball. Horween dove under Moseley and recovered the ball just as it was about to roll across the Crimson goal line. Legore's punting was decidedly off form for twice he kicked...
Penalties played a large part in the game, and in fact prevented a victory for the University, for toward the beginning of the second period Casey broke loose for a 71-yard run for a touchdown through the entire Yale team, but some Crimson player had been seen to trip a Yale man, and the play was called back, the University losing not only its touchdown but 15 yards besides. Casey was never able to break through again; the golden opportunity was lost...
...fourth quarter. Two were successful, four intercepted and the remainder incompleted. In the final period C. A. Coolidge '17 caught a 31-yard pass from H. C. Flower '19, which put the ball on Yale's 35-yard line, but evidently it was decided to try for a touchdown and victory rather than for a probable field goal and a tie score, so the forward passing game was continued to a fatal end when Neville caught one of W. J. Murray '18's passes...
Casey's brilliant run at the beginning of the second period was all in vain, and from that time on Yale was the agressor. The quarter was featured by two unsuccessful Yale field goals, the first first down of the game, made by Horween, and finally by the touchdown which gave the game to the Blue. Comerford, from a difficult angle, failed to kick the goal...
