...Yale eleven will play Princeton this afternoon on the University Field at Princeton. A comparison of the season's play seems to indicate a slight but definite advantage for Yale in the game. The Yale goal-line has been crossed three times by inferior teams, while Princeton has only allowed one field-goal, but in general defensive work Yale outclasses Princeton. No eleven has made consistent gains through the Yale line. Dewitt's kicking is superior to Bowman's, but this advantage for Princeton is likely to be more than counterbalanced by the effectiveness of Yale's running attack...
...Yale freshman team is this year very strong, and although defeated by the Princeton freshmen by a score of 5 to 0, have proved themselves a fast, aggressive eleven. From only two of their games can a comparison with the Harvard Freshmen be made. Yale has tied Andover, 6-6, and once been defeated by the same team, 11-6; while in the game with the Harvard Freshmen, Andover won, 5-0. In comparing these games, it is noticeable that in the second half of the last Yale game, Andover was clearly outplayed, and proved unable to resist Yale...
...that has been played between the two universities since 1898, but did not result in as great a feeling of satisfaction as is generally produced by a favorable score in a close contest. From considerations merely of physical qualities and training, Harvard should easily have outclassed Pennsylvania, but the comparison, when determination and worthiness of effort are counted in, is not complimentary to the victor. The Harvard eleven had many more chances, to score than the ordinary game usually affords, and had the team possessed the spirit of their opponents, not only would these opportunities have been taken advantage...
...defeating Pennsylvania a week ago by the score of 15 to 6. The only team played by both Harvard and Brown this year is Wesleyan which was defeated by Brown, 5 to 0, and by Harvard, 35 to 5. These games are obviously an unfair basis for comparison, however, as the former was played while the Brown team was in the earliest stages of development...
...University football team will play the Amherst eleven on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 4 o'clock. This game should be particularly interesting as it will afford the first basis for comparison between the Yale and Harvard teams. Amherst met Yale at New Haven last Saturday and was defeated by a score...
