...yard run by Churchill on the second play of the game prepared the way for Buell's field goal from the 36-yard line. Throughout the game Churchill proved a consistent ground gainer and in the end of the third period he got away for a 50-yard run. Buell, from start to finish, showed his ability to pick out the plays that were going to gain, and to diagnose the enemy tactics...
...became interested in the work. At the suggestion of Mr. Irwin I devised a set of signals, made up from a combination of Army wig-wag and Stock Exchange signals, by which I can signal in an instant to the score-board the "downs," "yard line," "yards to go," "who's ball," "play by," "man hurt," "goal," "touchdown"--in short everything that is necessary to the complete understanding of the game. Since then I have constantly improved the system so that today it is accepted as a standard all over the country...
...whole at fault but there were many examples of poor individual playing. French was too slow in getting his kick away on nearly every punt, while La Roche twice showed poor headwork. First, when, in the last quarter of the game Yale had carried the ball to within ten yards of the Boston College ten-yard line by a series of desperate rushes, and then was thrown back three times by the stiffened Cavanaugh defense, La Roche attempted to make fourth down on a forward pass. And later, on another fourth down, he sent his backs through tackle...
Brown put up more opposition than any of the other teams during the early season games and held the University to a 7-0 score on October 18. The touchdown came in the first quarter when an 80-yard march down the field swept the Brown team off its feet. During the second half a series of criss-cross plays took the Brown football machine from their own 25-yard line to the University's 22-yard mark before the Crimson men could stop the onrush. J. K. Ryan Occ and P. D. Steele '20 in the end berths, accounted...
...more finished game than they had hitherto played. Excellent interference cleared the path for long runs by Murray, Humphrey and Church. The latter played an all-around smashing game and scored two touchdowns by his line plunges. During the very first minute of play Murray tore off 42 yards which was shortly followed by a touchdown by A. Horween '20, made after a 20-yard run. On the kick-off afterwards Humphrey ran back the ball 67 yards to the 30-yard line...
