...wonderful football ability is too well known about the University to need comment. His drop kicks have won many contests of which the outcome would have otherwise been doubtful, and his presence in the game has always injected life and snap into his team-mates. In both of the years in which he has been playing on the University, he has been conceded a place on the All-American teams without dispute. He seems to possess all the qualities requisite to make him a most efficient leader of next year's eleven...
...scrimmage of the year for the University hockey team was held against the B. A. A. yesterday in the Arena. It lasted 45 minutes and was won by the latter by the score of 3 to 2. The play of the University team was characterized by a dash and snap lacking in previous practices, and by an exhibition of team play very gratifying to the coaches. The forwards charged well together and shot hard and accurately. The defence was well-balanced and generally managed to break up the B. A. A. attack...

But Yale this year lines up with a gap of from three to five yards between the tackle and the end. This gap between tackle and end has a new and astounding appearance.

...that the Tigers were at a loss how to meet it. Wilson, an extra ordinarily heavy man for the quarter back position, fully lived up to the reputation he has recently been building for himself, frequently getting away for long gains after receiving punts, and running the team with snap and vigor. Yale also showed a reversal of form in its fierce and sure talking, very different from the hesitating variety much in evidence hitherto...
...captained the championship Princeton eleven of 1911, the Tiger team seems to have recovered from the slump which was evidenced by last Saturday's game. As a whole, the eleven, is showing more life and aggressiveness, the backs, Baker, Glick, and Streit, running off the plays with remarkable snap while the forwards showed more fight in charging than they have before this season. The coaches, Hart and Moffat '84, are the most recent addition to the coaching staff and are bending all their efforts towards perfecting the Princeton eleven for its battle against Harvard on November 8. Moffat is giving...
