...several of its veterans, but numerous substitutes and men from 1917 who were eligible for the first time gave every appearance of being able to keep the standard of the forward defence up to that which has existed for some years past. Preliminary work rapidly rounded the team into shape and football critics awaited with interest the first game from which they might see the style of play which Yale was going to advance throughout the coming season...
...crews, crew A and crew B, were very nearly equal all during the season. The third and fourth crews were known as the first Eliot and Thayer crews, with the remainder, ten graded crews, divided into the Eliot and Thayer clubs. Under fairly strenuous training the men rounded into shape rapidly under the supervision of Coach Wray.

Von Holt was in the first actual scrimmage since breaking one of the bones in his wrist a few weeks ago. Le Gore is not in the best of shape and will probably not start against Princeton, while Wilson and Knowles are hardly strong enough to last through the entire contest...
