Yale asserted its faith in the lateral passing game in its easy victory over Maine. Thompson, Yale's fast quarter-back, Scovil, Guernesy, and Captain Wilson figured again and again in successful double and triple lateral--passes, as well as in forwards.

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 culminated these long assaults...
