...team this year. The eleven was made up as follows: Right end rush, Robinson, '89; tackle Rhodes, '90; right guard, Brooks, '89; centre, Corbin, '89; left guard, Heffelfinger, '91; tackle, Gill, '89; left end rush, Moyle, 90, and Townsend, '92; quarter-back, Wurtemberg, '89; half-backs, Graves, '91, Morrison, '91; full-back, Tracey...
...best all round man on the team. He is a very fine tackler and has the faculty of always being where the ball is. Noyes, the left end though suffering from a sprained ankle for several days has been playing a strong game. It is possible that Morrison, '91, may take Rhodes place as tackler and Rhodes go in as left end rush...
Behind the line there is great uncertainty. Wurtemberg, though he gets through well, is slow in picking up the ball and sometimes wild in passing. Morrison, '91, and Graves are probably the best men for half-backs. Morrison is a good kicker and rusher though he is slow in starting and does not ward off well. Graves is sure of either full back or half back as his tackling and kicking are very good. His catching is a little uncertain but his dodging and running are excellent. Tracey, full-back, is an awkward player, and while often making brilliant plays...
...each were played. The ball was kept in Wesleyan's territory during the greater part of the game. Wesleyan was forced to make two safety touchdowns, and the rest of Yale's points were scored on touchdowns by the following men: Wurtemburg (4), Corbin (3), Heffelefinger (1), Gill (4), Morrison (1), Rhodes (1). From these touchdowns, Morrison, half-back on last year's Exeter eleven, now filling the same place on the Yale team, kicked ten goals. The Yale rush line was vastly superior to Wesleyan's, being heavier and playing a much steadier and more vigorous game. The best...
...year's team now in college are Corbin, Gill, Wallace, Robinson, Rhodes, Wurtemburg, Brooks and Graves. Very little can be said as yet of the new men trying for the team; it is too early to state anything certain in regard to their chances for the eleven. McClung and Morrison, half-backs on the Exeter team last year, are doing very good work behind the line, and Pell, '92, Funk, '92, and Moyle, '91, are showing up well on the rush line. Captain Corbin is doing his best to develop a winning team, and giving the candidates hard and careful...
