...this year, however, there were two reverses. The Massachusetts Agricultural College eleven, which the University team meets next Saturday succumbed to Dartmouth's more aggressive and cleaner playing to the score of 13 to 0. M. A. C. was constantly incurring penalties for off-side play, yet could not withstand the Hanover team's straightforward line-bucking tactics. The other setback was the scoreless the which was forced upon Carlisle by Lebanon Valley. Both teams were strong on the defense in this game, and both were most effective with wide end runs...
Analysis shows that in each team the line is inferior to the backfield. Consequently as much will depend on the unknown ability of the forward defences to withstand the attacks of the truly brilliant backfields, as will depend on the known strength of these backfields. Perhaps slightly the superior in the line, and of equal power in the backfield, the University team will rely for supremacy to a great extent on the drop-kicking ability of Mahan

...versatility of the Yale backfield, together with the exceptional ability of Le Gore and the improved defensive playing of the line gave Yale a 19 to 14 victory over Princeton last Saturday. Substitutes sent in by Coach Hinkey in the latter part of the game were unable to withstand the terrific attack that Princeton put up throughout the last half with the result that the latter team scored twice in quick succession. However, in the early part of the game, with her full force on the field, Yale found little difficulty in gaining when distance was needed
...real test has yet been made of the University's strength. None of its scores have been close, and at no time has it been pushed to the limit. Teams heralded as powerful have not been able to withstand the University's onslaught--whether from their own inferiority or the University's excellence is a question which can best be settled after tomorrow's contest...
