...care to put his only two capable quarterbacks in play at the same time, especially since Murphy is rather frail. Moreover "it would mean putting both his drop-kickers in at once, Aldrich being the other reliance in this line. In spite, then, of his excellent exhibition of running, forward passing and drop-kicking in the Carnegie game, Murphy will remain the foremost threat on the Yale sidelines, ready to go into the game at any time the Blue attack is held up with in the opponents 45-yard line. Coach Jones is taking no chances of a recurrence...
...play evidenced in the Swarthmore game. Coaches Roper and Glick gave the backs and ends a long practice at making and breaking up interference; and the linemen were sent through a protracted work-out at locking and breaking through. Later backs and ends worked on the defense against the forward pass, in order to remedy the defects brought to light in the defense against Swarthmore's attack at the clos of last Saturday's game...
...week, and, minus three of four of the supposedly first-string players, routed the scrubs, gaining consistently on the offense and keeping the scrubs attack well in hand. Gorman, a star of the 1923 backfield, showed to very good advantage in Lourie's position at quarterback, tossing a forward to Gilroy after three plays after the kick-off. Throughout the scrimmage Gorman was a thorn in the scrubs side, breaking loose for 25-yard runs, or feinting only to toss forwards to the equally speedy Gilroy or McPhee. The second touchdown he scored himself, tearing loose after snaring a pass...
...football players was held yesterday afternoon after the usual stiff training work had been run off. Team A was given the ball in the center of the field and tried a series of line plays as a start-off, but Team B received the ball on downs. A successful forward pass took the ball well down the field, but a second pass was gathered in by a Team A man. The wind favored the first team in the kicking duel which now followed, and left Jenkins in a position to kick a field goal from the 23-yard line...
...Princeton Saturday, Swarthmore went home satisfied, having crossed the Tiger line and being defeated by the highly respectable score of 17-6. Princeton exhibited far more open play than did either Yale or the University in its opening game. Combining forward passes and tricky runs with line plunges by Wittmer, Lourie guided his team up to striking distance, where in every case he resorted to the forward pass. Twice he succeeded, once tossing the ball to Raymond behind the posts, and the second time receiving the ball over the line himself from Murrey. On the third attempt to score...
