...touchdown near the goal posts is more to be desired than one made in the corner. It is a strong attack which lands one near the centre. The defense is more resisting which pushes the attack to one side...
...defense might have done it, but Harvard did not have the right kind. An attempt was made to turn it aside by oblique tackling of the secondary defense, but this allowed the play to get through the line and made at least short gains inevitable. This Yale style of attack has been the basis of her offense throughout the season.

The men were slow in charging, failed to follow the ball and played too high, consequently, very little headway was made through the centre of the line J. Lawrence alone was free from these faults, but his usual tendency to play offside appeared again and was more costly than...
