Walter Eckersall noted the progress of southern football as he reflected on Georgia's victory over Yale; "Old Eli, with its running attack, could do nothing against Georgia, which is represented by two of the finest ends in the country.

Costly fumbles and poor generalship by Yale were quickly converted into Georgia opportunities. Purdue upset Harvard the same week. (en) |
