...Freshman football team will play the Yale freshmen on Yale Field at 2.30 o'clock today. A lack of aggressiveness, uncertain team play and a persistent inability to master thoroughly the rudimentary points of the game, have made the development of the team this year unsatisfactory to the coaches, but during the last week the men have improved considerably, and with the return of Parkinson and Montgomery should prove strong both on offense and defense. The principal fault of the eleven is with the line men, who fail to charge and fight as they should...
...satisfactory conclusions as regards these points have been drawn. In fact there is no definite theory of the origin and development of the story, and of the several extant volumes of the work only two are serviceable in showing the character of Horn.

However, this scene is greatly obscured...

His punting is excellent in practice, but falls off considerably in a line-up, so as to be at times noticeably weak...
