...Norton's field yesterday afternoon the seniors beat the juniors by a score of 10 to 0. The seniors had the heavier team and used their rush line to very good effect. The junior's backs played well, but they were not well supported by the rush line which let the '91 men get through. The umpire was not at all strict in regard to off-side play on either side, but his decisions seemed to result more disastrously...
...game yesterday afternoon was played on a slippery field and in a driving rain, but the eleven did better work than it has for some time. The greatest improvement is noticeable in the work of the rush line; the men went at Wesleyan's heavy rushers in a an aggressive way that settled how the game was going from the start.

...close of the second half that Yale succeeded in scoring. In the second game Yale had greatly improved in her play but could defeat the Middletown men by a score of only 34-0. In the Wesleyan line Leo has been playing a very strong game at end-rush. Hildreth and Bickford have also been doing good work. Back of the line the visitors will present two men well known to most Harvard football enthusiasts. Slayback, the captain of the team, is one of the strongest rushing half-backs in the country. He runs very swiftly, goes through the line...
