...First, as to plays. In mastering her plays, Yale believes in perfecting the form of a play at the very start, however slowly it may go, and then speeding it up as fast as the slowest man can be quickened, but no faster. Thus Yale preserves her superb form. Harvard, on the other hand, gets speed and life into a play at the very start, albeit it is very ragged in form. Her effort is then directed, through the rest of the season, to perfecting the form without sacrificing speed. Yale is meanwhile perfecting the speed without sacrificing form...
...player, both on the offense and defense, and is also the most successful worker of the forward pass. His rapidity in getting down under kicks and his unerring aggressiveness against an interference have combined to make him invaluable in a game where much headwork is needed in addition to speed and accurate tacking. Lewis, who will start at the other end, has had only this year's experience on the University squad, but in spite of the handicap, is well up with Smith, although not quite so reliable in breaking up a well protected end run.

...line, in which only two substitutions were made, showed improvement and played more as a unit than in former games. Wigglesworth at quarterback was not quite up to his best form, but, considering his recent absence, he played remarkably well. Potter ran the team with speed and decision, showed good judgment in the choice of plays, and handled punts in the backfield accurately. Corbett and Frothingham played in last year's effective way, though the former made one costly fumble and the latter two. Campbell, who started the same at right halfback, was strong on the plunges, and, with Morrison...
...Pearson and McLane showed that they were still in the running, and by excellent team play and sharp volleying from the net, pulled up and passed their opponents until the score stood 6 to 5 in their favor. But Sweetser and Fraser-Campbell again showed a burst of speed and won the next two games. With Fraser-Campbell serving in the final game, the score reached forty love. Pearson and McLane, however, scored the next three points bringing the score to deuce. Fraser-Campbell and Sweetser gained the odd point seven times, and each time their opponents evened the score...
