...safety. Our rushers throughout, with the exception of Woodman, Hopkins and Purdon, played a very loose game. They must break and back through better; and above all, they must play an aggressive game. With a weak team opposing they ought to run the score up into the fifties. Another fault is high tackling, which is almost universal. Hopkins tackles beautifully, and it is to be hoped that the rest will copy...
...endurance and want of confidence, The fact that eighty-eight forced the game during the first half, but utterly weakened towards the end of the game plainly showed that either the freshmen have not trained at all or that they have not been properly trained. This is a serious fault of course but it is one that can be remedied if every man on the team will only consider that, in justice to his class and college he is bound to train faithfully and do all in his power to beat Yale.

If these do not tend to improve the team then it will not be the fault of the management if our eleven is defeated; it will be the fault of the college for not furnishing better material...
...Yale Courant. in defending Yale against the attacks of the "Nassau Misc" which finds fault with the excessive "sandiness" of the Yale foot ball game, delivers itself of the following: "Sand is, no doubt, disagreeable to certain individuals, but it is entirely preferable to the concoction of mud, cowardice and sour grapes which the organs of Princeton and Harvard, with their New York satellites, make a point of aiming at Yale after every Thanksgiving game...
