...versatile, or how heralded our Harvard team may be, Yale always puts on the field against us a team that is 100 per cent stronger in football ability, in fighting qualities and staying powers than at any other time during the season. There is no man in Harvard's backfield today who can "touch" Percy Wendell, none is better than Ham Corbett, and the quarterbacks are no better than those of 1910. Injuries may come at any time or the same unaccountable, unfathomable feeling may permeate this year's team that subconsciously enshrouded the team of 1910 after a disappointing...
...second touchdown came after a 30-yard getaway by McKinlock, and a series of line plunges in which Bettle figured conspicuously. The final score was made by Rollins on a fake kick formation, similar to the ones effectively used by Mahan, and Brickley. Of the backfield, McKinlock and Willetts showed up particularly well; and of the line, Felton, Mills, and Morgan...
...University team has had no chance to show its full strength in the early season games, the men individually at least equal the Princeton players, and have the advantage of experience and perfection in the fundamentals. The game will be a hard contest between consistent rushing of the backfield combination of Brickley, Bradlee, and Hardwick, and trick formations of the heavy Princeton backs...

Besides the team as given below, substitutes F. S. Hopkins, D. F. Fenn, Managers Storms and Chittenden, and Coach Burgess will...
Released from the Infirmary where he has been confined for several days with an infected foot. Mahan will today return to his place in the backfield of the University eleven, and will probably participate in at least a portion of the Princeton contest. Yesterday he was not in football clothes, but followed the work of the squad from the side-lines. His return to the line-up means that fast plays will become far more successful, for Mahan is the key to almost every formation that depends on speed. During his absence, his place has been filled by Bradlee...
