...Ellis, who recently ran through the entire Dartmouth Freshman team for a touchdown, Exeter has an able field general. The other members of the backfield have proved themselves proficient in both the Dartmouth Freshman and Yale Freshman games which the team won 6-0 and 12-7 respectively. Pine, star halfback, broke his ankle in scrimmage yesterday...
This outcome is hardly expected, however, even by the Elis' strongest partisans. Dooley, Hall, and Leavitt are backfield men who have won their spurs in past campaigns. Oberlander, accounted the best of the four, is a made-over lineman whose ability cannot well be disparaged even though his experience behind the line is limited. The Green line, strong at the flanks with Captain Bjorkman and Tully, is a bit uncertain in the center...

It is a certainty that the 70,000 fans who pack the Yale Bowl will see about the best exhibition of end play of the year.

Pfaffman was substituted at quarterback late in the third period, and the Holy Cross backfield came in for what seemed an obvious try for a goal from the field. Pfaffman made as if to drop the ball, and then hurled the pigskin to Cheek, who easily crossed the goal-line...
