...Stokes, Jr., Yale '96, who was on the first Yale team to defeat Harvard in debate, will give an address this evening at 6.45 in Holden Chapel, on the work of the Young Men's Christian Association in this country and abroad. Few realize the importance of the work done by the international Christian Associations and the address is sure to be interesting, as Mr. Stokes is eminently fitted to speak on this subject...
...defense has been unusually strong. In short it must be remembered that notwithstanding Saturday's failure, the old conditions were reversed. For the first time in years Yale's team, though a strong one, was thrown upon the defensive and was decidedly pleased with its success in avoiding defeat.

All the touchdowns were made between Harvard's left end and tackle, and this side of the team is to blame...
...fumbling behind the line which in great part accounted for Harvard's small score. Spear at left tackle played a brilliant game for Worcester, and to his strong playing are due the three touchdowns scored against the Freshmen. Though the eleven alone is to blame for this defeat, the team is a strong one, and with a week's practice before it, should improve...
