President Stevenson, of the Yale navy, is authority for the statement that Gill and Woodruff will in all probability occupy their old positions in the boat, and it is possible that Clad-well will be induced to stroke the crew again.-New Haven Union...
Yale had the choice and took the ball, Harvard defending the east goal. Play was called and Beecher started to run, but was downed after advancing a few feet. Gill followed with a short run, as did Graves also. On the fourth down the ball went to Harvard. Corbin interfered, causing Harding to fumble, and Beecher dropped on the ball.

Fiske as umpire, gave complete satisfaction. This is no small praise, for no Yale-Princeton game, for years has been played with such an entire absence of "kicking...
