From the January 12, 1910 NYT:

Yale opened the basket ball season to-night by a defeat at the hands of Trinity, 17 to 16. All the way Trinity led and had a safe lead when the first half closed by the score, 12 to 4. Yale's spurt in the second half was unexpected and came within 1 point of tying the score. Gildersleeve and Cook starred for Trinity, while Goodwin's goal-throwing and Eames's defensive play featured the Yale game.

Goals from the field: Gildersleeve, 3; Abbey, 1; Carroll, 1; Goodwin, 5; Finnessy, 2.

Goals from the foul - Cook, 5; Eames, 2.
