...second half, every man of the original eleven except Stillman, Graydon and Sugden was replaced by a substitute, and much team play sacrificed. All the backs ran well with the ball, but were weak in handling punts. Stillman did some strong punting, and outclassed Craighead, who punted for Yale, even against the wind. His line-bucking was strong and his run of seventy yards on a fake kick was the longest of the game. Hersey did some good individual rushing, but was of little use in the interference. His substitute, Kernan, did some remarkable punting in the last few minutes...
...best players taken on the 'Varsity squad. Owing to the unusually long season, the development has necessarily been slow. Since the game, however, with the U. of P. freshmen Nov. 4, steady improvement has been shown, especially through the secret practice of this last week. A strong defense has been developed, and the offense, though ragged at times, has been made very effective. As a result, moreover, of the continued and persistent coaching of J. L. Knox 2L., the team now works well together and is capable of considerable speed. The men are all in good condition with the exception...
...part to the few games played, in part to the lack of attention from the graduate coaches, who have spent most of their time working on the 'Varsity. The past week's hard and very satisfactory practice, however, will doubtless find Yale prepared to play a strong game. Yet it is certain that the team is considerably weakened by the loss of Wilhelmi, fullback, who broke his collar-bone in the Princeton freshman game last Saturday. Although it is certain that Yale will be outclassed in punting by Stillman of Harvard, still there seems to be no doubt that their...
...first practice on Monday, September 18. The old players to return, in addition to Captain Burden, were Boal, Hallowell, Daly and Warren, and later, Eaton, Swain, Burnett and Donald. With this nucleus of old players has been built up a Harvard eleven which today stands fully as strong as last year's at this date. The slump did not occur this year unless the reaction succeeding the Pennyslvania game can be called such. The minor teams, even the Indians and Pennsylvania, were powerless against the Harvard eleven...
...spite of these disadvantages, Yale has now a team which is strong at every point except at the ends. The tackles, Hale, Stillman, and Francis, have been improving steadily during the past few weeks, and, in the early games, were used a great deal to rush the ball. Hale was tried at centre this week in spite of his light weight. Yale has strong guards in Brown and Olcott. The latter has had comparatively little experience, but his efficiency has been greatly increased by the coaching of Hickok. Brown is in fine form, and at present is looked upon...
