...receiving end of nearly all of the complicated passes, his punting far excelled that of either of his rivals and as a secondary defensive man he was the mainstay of the backfield. He was the pivot on which Yale built her attack, and the other backs were only slightly inferior to his standard of play. Wilson, Ainsworth, Knowles, Scovil, Guernsey and Cornell all contributed strength to the power of the offensive machine which proved to be of such high calibre Line plunging brought the ball down the field in each case and a forward pass resulted in the scores which...
...Brown team is essentially an inexperienced eleven, but six of the twenty men who have been playing with more or less regularity in the games this season ever having had any university experience. Pre-season indications of a weak line proved to be correct; the line was distinctly inferior to the backfield and caused the coaches a good deal of anxiety. Trivial injuries, added to the already rather ordinary line material, prevented the proper development of the same set of men and necessitated constant rearranging of the line-up. The offensive department of the eleven is strong; the backfield being...
...preparation for the struggle with Dartmouth. Syracuse came to Princeton with one of the strongest elevens that has represented that university in a long time, and while they scored on the university, the final score was 12 to 7 in favor of Princeton, Lafayette was next, but proved inferior to its predecessor and was beaten by 16 to 0, although the University team did not play up to standard, and showed a disappointing lack of the "scoring punch." The game with Dartmouth was a satisfaction in every way, not only because of a 16-12 victory over a very strong...
Cornell triumphed over Brown, 28 to 7, at the Polo Grounds in New York City. Brown excelled at the forward passing game; in all the other phases of football she was distinctly inferior to her opponent. The Cornell defence was practically impregnable and her backfield men found little difficulty in opening up the Brunonian line for constant gains. Barrett of Cornell, and Murphy, of Brown, the two quarterbacks, easily starred on account of their field generalship...
...team, once they had recovered from the stage-fright incident to their first start in the Stadium, played exceptionally well. Their big linemen were little inferior to those of the University forwards, but the backs seemed hardly equal to the opportunities that the rush line afforded them. Mackie, substituting at tackle blocked one of Francke's punts and the Freshmen recovered the ball on the University's 25-yard line, from which place Horne kicked a pretty field goal for the 1918 team's only score...
