Neither Harvard nor Yale could score in their annual game at New Haven on Saturday afternoon, due to Harvard's costly mistakes and to Yale's powerful defence and superior generalship. Although the Harvard team was backed by the prestige of an unbroken series of victories this fall and was strong enough to make twice as many first downs as Yale in Saturday's game, yet Yale kept off defeat by an alertness which recovered every Harvard fumble occurring within scoring distance of Yale's goal...
...first period averaging over 40-yards each. Of the substitute backs Campbell and Morrison, the latter made the longer gains and his defensive work was excellent. At quarterback Wigglesworth did not show as good generalship as he has in former games and he made some had fumbles. Although most of his forward passes were over the heads of the ends, he executed one in the last period to Lewis which gained 23 yards. As Gardner and Potter were only in for a sort time, little can be said of their work, except that Potter made one successful forward pass. Both...
...Yale, Kilpatrick was distinctly the individual star, although Daly, Field and Kistler played brilliant games. Kilpatrick, who combines speed and weight, was always the first man down under punts, and his tackling was very hard and sure. He was always alert, followed the ball closely, and was in every play. Field shone in defensive work, and smothered practically every play that broke through the primary defence. The offensive playing of Kistler was accurate and several times he got through the line, running directly behind Field, his interference. Captain Daly showed speed on end runs and was keen to size...
...showed well-grounded knowledge of the game and undeniable physical power both in breaking up the much heralded tackle-shift attack, and also in offensive play. From the point of view of next year's team, these are the really significant elements of Saturday's game, for although deplorable and unfortunate to the last degree, fumbling and holding can be corrected, while nobody can teach brain and brawn...
Both Yale and Harvard are strong, and although the former developed late, there can be no doubt of its present power. Lack of experienced material at New Haven formed a serious handicap to rapid development, and Mr. Camp's absence deprived the team, during the early season, of his supervision, which has been in the past Yale's greatest football asset. By defeating Princeton, however, the eleven showed that it has finally discovered its formerly latent strength and that the winning team will have to use all its power and all its knowledge before time is called...
