...strongest team into the field. Princeton will still be seriously handicapped when she meets Yale on account of the loss of Black and Hayden; the others who have been on the injured list, however, have recovered and the team which will face Yale is by no means a weak...
...Yale backs, McClung played for and away the best game. His weak point was at taking kicks, but he made up for it by the best rushes on the field. He was also the surest tackle back of the line on his side. Williams made one or two good runs, but his work was not remarkable. Barbour's passing at quarter-back was good, but his work suffered greatly by comparison with Dean's. Morison and Bliss, who took Williams' place, made some good gains.

Until recently he has been playing right half-back. Spicer, a new man, at left...

Alward played left tackle in the absence of Upton; he is strong at some points of the game, but very weak at others. The men back of the line did effective work; there was a confusion of the signals once or twice, but otherwise their play left nothing to be desired. In the second half Mason played end on the 'varsity instead of Cumnock, and Crosby was put in opposite...
