...throwing, but on the other hand did some clever work in handling thrown balls. He also showed up well in the batting, getting two of the 'Varsity's six hits. Rand made one pretty hit for three bases over Davis's head in right, probably the longest hit made on Holmes Field this season...
...Taken on Approval," although clever, is silly and does not justify its length-it is by far the longest contribution in the number.

During the first few minutes of play, Yale's ends appeared as weak as they had been represented, as Dibblee and Warren then made the longest runs of the game. On an average, however, end plays were by no means sure of gains. The interference was easily broken up, most often by the forwards who broke through, or the runner was hindered by his own men. The backs were also slow in starting, and when they were...
