...game with Exeter in the Bowl, the Yale freshman R. O. T. C. team, as they are officially designated, surprised their followers by defeating the Academy eleven 20 to 0. The freshmen displayed a good defence, with an erratic offence. As a unit the team exhibited much power. . The line, although weak in several positions, held their opponents' attack, while the backfield proved to be a fast and aggressive aggregation. Fumbling, however, marred the team's play.

...team have been playing hard, but much of their work has been nullified by a lack of teamwork. It has been the outstanding fault in all the games so far. A common bond of sympathy is what is needed to make the eleven men play as a unit. I think the real beginning of a team spirit came after the Exeter game, when we began to realize that we had been playing only as individuals. If we feel that the whole Class is behind us as a team this common bend of sympathy will be more firmly cemented...
