Football Notes on Yale Harvard Princeton and Others
Harvard’s poor showing in the Brown game marks their last local appearance. Twenty one Yale graduates coach college teams this season. Yale’s play versus Chicago impresses Harvard observers for strong offense and defense. West Point limits practice to thirty minutes daily except game weeks. Butterworth kicked from the forty yard line under wet slippery conditions, a sharp angle. The top four scores this season include Yale 67 over Tufts, Penn 66 over Swarthmore, Princeton 48 over Rutgers, and Harvard 48 over Exeter.
