Yale's Defense Against Forward Pass is its Weakest Point Says Maryland Which Scored Twice--Punts Can be Blocked

The weakest point in the Yale eleven is the defense against the forward pass according to members of the Maryland team who were interviewed by the Yale Daily News immediately after their game with the Elis Saturday.

The Southerners, who pressed Yale hard and gained two touchdowns, said they thought the Blue offensive spread fairly effective and the interference good, but the defense for the kicker poor. They expressed the opinion that there was a danger of the Bulldogs punts being blocked since the kickers stood too close to the line of scrimmage in straining for distance.

They considered the Yale tackles weak. Stevens was named the hardest Eli to tackle and Pond was considered the best all-round man. Luman was also singled out by the Southerners who declared him particularly fast and sure on covering punts.

Several of the Maryland team said they thought Yale the best big University in the country to play.
