It is maintained that Corey should have used Brooks around the op- posite end more than he did, because this play seemed to have some prospect Of gaining However, perhaps the plays Corey did choose would have worked now and again had the backs remembered the signals and known their places in the play.
 Concerning the West Point game the Yale Daily News says:
 ..The Yale eleven was decisively beaten at West Point. The individuals played up hard and, on occasions, brilliantly; but the team play gave little satisfaction.
 .The greenness of the players was pain fully evident and those errors were again and again blundered into which are usu- ally associated with the awkward inferi- ority of new material"
