...season came on October 11 in a game with the heavy Worcester Academy team, where the Freshmen showed their power and aggressiveness in a 27-10 victory. Toward the end of the game, with the entrance of many substitutes, the yearlings' attack gradually weakened, allowing Worcester to score twice. Far too many fumbles were made in this game and the Freshmen were unable to complete a single really successful pass. W. H. Churchill starred for the Crimson team and gave an indication of what might be expected of him later...

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. And later, on another fourth down, he sent...
