Yale excelled in team and in individual play, especially in tackling; their centre was invincible and Princeton should have realized this and acted accordingly. On the other hand Princeton's rush line was easily pierced...
...will probably be played here if he has recovered from his recent shaking up; if not, Woods will try his hand on the Yale captain. He is strong, active, a fair tackler and a good runner, but not up to the other two. On the other side of the line, Lewis will face Wallis; he is a sure tackler and very active, but hardly strong enough for the position. On the ends, however, with Warren and Farness. Princeton will be able to give Yale points on how the position should be played...
Back of the line the two teams are very evenly matched, except at quarter-back; Poe is of course away up and above Barbour. If Harvey should play fullback for Yale his work will off-set that of Homans. The Princeton man has a very quick punt and a reasonably good drop kice, and he runs well with the ball; but he lacks experience and is very apt to get excited. Harvey is good at all points of a fullback's play, and has had considerable experience. It is difficult to compare the work of the halfbacks. Princeton...
Princeton's play has lacked snap this year, and Yale expects that sharp. aggressive work will demoralize the New Jersey men. But while Princeton's line is somewhat out of balance, this is probably the only weakness that Yale will find in it; and when it comes to aggressive work the Princeton eleven is apt to surprise Yale. Little is known of Princeton's team play, but we have seen that Yale's is at times really remarkable. Such work kept up throughout a game would be well nigh invincible. But the Yale team did not keep it up last...
...expected it would be. Lewis at centre, although he played a hard and plucky game, did not inspire confidence in a team that had become accustomed to Holcomb's style of play. Harvard had two men for half-backs who were heavy enough to play in the rush line, and this they did whenever Yale tried to gain through the centre. Yale should have played a kicking game in the first half, when the wind was favorable, and should have tried the ends instead of the centre in the last ten minutes. As for the fluke by which Dean secured...
