But despite the overwhelming nature of the defeat, Mills and Devoe and the associate coaches found much to encourage them.

No attempt had been made to try the new defensive play, but Erskine had managed to make her distance several times.

The line had proved steady and had borne the severe battering of the Yale backs without serious injury.

The Purple's back-field had played well; Paul had been in his best form, Gillam had gained ground quite often through Yale's wings, and Mason, at full-back, had fought nobly.

The ends had proved themselves quick and speedy in getting down under punts, and several of the Blue's tries around end had been nipped ingloriously in the bud.
