Yale and Princeton will play their annual football game at Princeton this afternoon. The only team that has played both Yale and Princeton is Holy Cross. Princeton defeated Holy Cross 17 to 0, and Yale defeated the same team 12 to 0. This is hardly a fair basis of comparison, however, for Yale has been scored on by Syracuse, tied by Vanderbilt, and beaten by West Point and Brown, while Princeton has come through the season without a single score against it. These conditions are almost the reverse of last year, when Yale won all its games, and Princeton lost...
...play was the best exhibition of this sort seen on Soldiers Field for a long time. When Corbett made his long run in the Bates game in 1908, the score which followed was the result of individual ability after the runner had broken free. This difference forms an interesting comparison of the work of the Harvard team of 1908 and of 1910, and one which points to a repetition of the success of the 1908 team...
...yards before he was downed. Then the University backs advanced the ball without much difficulty for a touchdown. In the remaining time two more touchdowns were scored, Campbell, who took Corbett's place, being especially effective at circling both the second team's ends. The latter, in comparison with Lewis and Smith, the University ends, were slow in getting down under punts. Consequently the University backs got free for long gains through a broken field. On the defence the University team was practically invincible, the second team backs gaining first down but twice in the entire scrimmage. The new combination...
...comparison of the two crews Harvard, as last year, is superior to Yale in physique, weight, and experience. Harvard, at present, seems to be by far the smoother rowing crew. The Yale shell, when going at the low stroke of 27, is not well on its keel. Many individual faults are apparent, and the body swing of the crew is poor. Wodell at 7 has a poor finish, and Campbell at 4, weighing over 190 pounds, is very awkward. The latter's rowing makes a bad break in the boat. In spite of these faults, the boat seems to travel...
