...University eleven supposed to be one of the weakest Harvard has ever had, and crippled a few days before the game by the loss of its regular left tackle, was a superb exhibition of aggressiveness and determined spirit in the face of the most persistent ill-fortune. The vigorous attack and the determined defense shown by the University eleven made it the more regrettable that lack of judgment in directing plays at critical moments and a bad fumble prevented Harvard from at least scoring...
...season had been excellent. Every team played had been beaten by decisive scores, and in only two games, those with Holy Cross and West Point, was Yale scored on. The chances for the Princeton game seemed distinctly to favor Yale. The result was a surprise. Yale's powerful attack was spoiled by disastrous fumbling which cost at least one touchdown and possibly two against Princeton. On the left side of the line Yale's defense fell below expectations. Neither Kinney nor Batchelder were Strong; and Roraback at centre was a disappointment. The backs played with notable effectiveness, both in attack...
...Yale eleven has shown in its general work this season that it possesses great defensive strength and an attack that is at once varied and powerful. Six members of the 1902 eleven will be in the line-up today. Bloomer has not recovered from the injury sustained last Saturday, and his place today will be taken by Miller; with this exception the men have recovered from the hard strain of the Princeton game, and are physically...

...much vaunted attack of Yale has not proven to be especially effective. Hogan, while making at times short gains through the line, has not succeeded in accomplishing the results in the Princeton game. The Yale attack has been directed principally against Derby at left tackle, but Derby is showing a wonderful spirit of fight, and is holding his own fairly well. He frequently succeeds in opening holes through Hogan. Captain Marshall is playing a much more reliable game than hitherto this season. The most noticeable feature, perhaps, of Harvard's playing is the team work...
