...football world, but it is significant that the university eleven was able to overwhelm them with a deluge of 74 points. Cornell, who will test the mettle of Coach Haughton's men two weeks from now, was victorious over Williams by the score of 46 to 6. Nothing but straight football was used by the victors, while the losing purple team tried many varieties of open play. A forward pass of the latter's netting 45 yards and a touchdown was, however, their only profitable effort in this line...
...came after a quick succession of plays following McElwain's punt out from behind the seconds' goal-line. Boles, who has been for the present, shifted from quarter o half back, caught the ball and made a pretty 20-yard run-back. From that point on, a series of straight line plunges by Boles and Nelson brought the play to the seconds' 15-yard line, and from there on the third down, Boles lifted a perfect drop-kick over the bar.

Minot '17, a second team back, ran through the right wing of the regular line for a touchdown. A University score in the corner of the field, followed by a frustrated attempt to kick out for position...
...lateral passing game in its easy victory over Maine. Thompson, Yale's fast quarter-back, Scovil, Guernesy, and Captain Wilson figured again and again in successful double and triple lateral--passes, as well as in forwards. Scovil and Captain Wilson also pierced the opponents line at will on straight plunges. But one really weak point seemed present in the Yale defense, this being the end positions when the first string men had retired. In the last quarter Maine sent two long runs around Church and Blodgett who were playing these positions. In that period the Maine team outplayed their opponents...
