Colgate took Yale by surprise with her fast plunging backfield, and the Yale line, weakened by the presence of many substitutes, was unable to withstand their attack. Yale's attack was slow and uncertain and was, except for the second period, during which flashes or brilliancy were shown, ineffective. Fumbling was the direct cause of two of Colgate's touchdowns. The ball was in Yale's territory most of the time. The team will be strengthened this week by the return of some of the regulars who have been on the injured list...
...coaching staff yesterday acquired the services of H. F. Corbett '11, who will direct his attention toward the backfield, and at the same time endeavor to improve the team's punting efficiency. He will be assisted by H. B. Sprague '11, while H. B. Gardner '13 has rejoined the staff to aid in the development of the quarters. A new figure also appeared in the person of J. L. Knox '98, a strategic general of much ability...
...backfield in yesterday's practice consisted of Logan, at quarter, and Hardwick, Bradlee and Brickley. At left end Coolidge was in O'Brien's place, with Storer on the other end. The tackles were Withington, left, and Gilman, right; the guards were Pennock and Cowen. Trumbull was at centre. Despite the weakness evident in the left side of the line, where Hitchcock is replaced by Withington who is between two new men, this is very probably the order which will face Cornell tomorrow...
...University's attack was somewhat more powerful and exhibited more versatility than usual, using both line and open plays to advantage. The first two tallies were made on long runs by Bradlee, who was playing for Mahan in the backfield. Logan scored the third by getting away for a dash of 40 yards, and Bettle the fourth after a long series of line bucks. The fifth and last score came when Dana crossed the line on a successfully manipulated forward pass...
...question, which has long been the thorn in the side of the coaching staff, will still find no new solution, and that Freedley and Logan will henceforth have to bear the brunt of the quarterback work. Bradlee, although he once gave promise of being quarterback timber, shifted to the backfield of the substitutes yesterday. Apparently the attempt to make him into a quarterback has been given up. Bradlee, however useful a man he may be for the substitutes, was one of the few quarterback hopes; Logan and Freedley both are reliable and steady, but neither measures up to the brilliant...
