...best individual work of the day was done by Hallowell. Aside from his brilliant tackling after punts, his wonderful quickness in stopping Sharpe on trick plays, and his breaking of Yale's end interference, he showed a courage and spirit as acting captain after Daly's retirement that was admirable. Lawrence was the only man in the line who had any effectiveness against the tackesback formation, and is was he that put what strength there was in the right side of the line.

Hutchinson kicked the three goals. The rest of the game was characterized by a slight spurt...

Lawrence, were slow and awkward both in defense and offense. They played...

Yale's play was fast and varied and on the defensive they sized up the Indian's trick plays with little difficulty...
