...Junior basketball team defeated the Seniors Saturday afternoon in the second game of the interclass series by the close score of 25 to 22. During the first half the playing was slow. Both teams were equally matched, however, the score at the end of the half being 12 to 12. In the second half the play was faster. At the beginning the Seniors got a lead of several points which they succeeded in keeping until well through the half. The team-play of the Juniors improved as the game continued and they finally obtained the lead, which they held until...
...ends Browne and Crowley are efficient men, tackle hard, and do well with the forward pass. Their one fault is that they are slow in getting down the field under punts. In Brown, Cutting and Houston, they have very able substitutes. The tackles, Fish and MacKay, are generally conceded to be two as good linemen as Harvard has had in some time. They are both excellent on the defense, and Fish's work not only in the line, but in catching forward passes, stands out above the rest of the team...

The backfield has relied too much on old-fashioned line-plunges and has not shown any indication of having developed an open game. In the early part of the season the backs were slow to get started and it was not until the end of the Princeton game that their attack became so powerful.

...could not gain consistently through the Wesleyan line. Against Syracuse, a week later, the team could only score one touchdown. The work was ragged and rather discouraging. Eighteen points were rolled up against Holy Cross on October 10, in a game that showed much promise. The offense was still slow in starting, but on the defense, both the line and the backs showed marked improvement. The Army proved to be the hardest proposition Yale had met. Playing with several men crippled slowed up the Yale attack, which was unable to gain consistently against the opposing line. In the second half...
...Corey '11, quarterback, has been showing improvement steadily in his ability to run the team. He has a very level head, starts the plays in good shape and his passing is excellent. He is a very sure man in catching punts but is some-what slow in running them back...
