...courses was open. Yale fully believed that she was not to blame for the beginning of whatever roughness occurred in the Springfield game, and she believed that there was overwhelming evidence to this effect. It was impossible for her to have replied in newspapers and, by counter charges, to have created what would undoubtedly have been a lasting breach. But her traditional silence was adhered to, in the belief, persisted in for months, that the charges would die out and that some form of statement would relieve her from the necessity for taking any action. It is an open secret...
...other colleges of the intercollegiate association, in which Harvard would, by her acceptance, silently acquiesce. It would be the more ungracious of her, since she did not in the games this year prove herself second best. Oxford and Cambridge, in replying to the intercollegiate challenge by a narrowed counter challenge, should, it would seem, have selected Yale and Pennsylvania, who hold the two leading places in track athletics.

The elevens were very evenly matched, neither side having any decided advantage, and the tactics employed were comparatively the same, both teams depending upon their backs, rather then upon mass plays. Fumbling and offside play were the most apparent weaknesses, but these were counter-balanced by the noticeable improvement in defensive play. The unexpected strength of the sophomores is due chiefly to the earnestness and persistency of Captain Borden in coaching his eleven and also to his ability in managing them. The individual work of the majority of the players was worthy of comment...
