...Sophomores played on the defensive during nearly all of the first half, and could gain only towards the end of the game when the Seniors put in a number of substitutes. For the Seniors, Cate at quarterback and Brooks and Hoffman in the backfield excelled, the latter scoring three touchdowns. R. C. Foster, Voshell, and Case, who made a 30-yard run for a touchdown, played well for the Sophomores. The feature of the game was Sheip's 90-yard run for a touchdown after he had intercepted a forward pass...

During the first half, the Seniors scored three touchdowns. After receiving the kick-off, they advanced the ball to the middle of the field. An onside kick, recovered by Remick, placed the ball on the 25-yard line, and on the next play Dana, receiving the ball from Cate on a forward pass, advanced it to the 1-yard line. Hoffman scored on the next play, and Jones kicked the goal.

...first game of the season, Yale defeated Wesleyan by two touchdowns, scoring both of them in the first half by straight line-rushing. In the second half, many substitutes were put in who 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...

...Princeton game, Yale showed the wonderful reserve that won last year, by rolling up two touchdowns in the second half after Princeton had scored early in the game. During the entire first half, Yale was outplayed. The speedy Princeton backs, and especially Tibbott, managed to run around the ends for long gains, from which Princeton's touchdown resulted. The nearest Yale got to the opposing goal was the 13-yard line where an attempted forward pass failed. In the second half, Princeton at first kept the advantage, but as the game went on the team tired and could no longer...
