...Yale's game with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Saturday : "The 'Techs' proved to be, on the whole, rather large men, but no such formidable antagonists as the score in their game with Harvard had led us to expect. The result of the game is particularly gratifying, as showing - as far as such indirect comparisons can show - that our team is stronger than Harvard...

The half-backs are doing more kicking than they did last year, and show a decided improvement in this point. The passing is not quite as good as it should be, although it has been occasionally very brilliant. The men work together unusually well, and they play a very effective and careful game...
