...valuable and spectacular, jumping from one side of the net to the other, coming out and saving the day in the numerous scrimmages in front of the goal and contributing several stops that were nothing short of miraculous. Continual drilling about keeping in the line brought out a rather bad feature in the play of the University forwards, in that the man with the puck would continually wait until everyone was ready--a delay that proved disasterous on several occasions. Dartmouth made no attempt at team play, giving the game a helter-skelter appearance. Their defence was good...
...whole the game was very close, both sides having numerous chances to win. From the Harvard standpoint it was very satisfactory to win but many faults were brought out which will have to be eradicated if there is to be a win from Princeton next Saturday. After a bad slump during and immediately after the Christmas training trip, the team has been gradually developing and improving and there is no doubt but that the fighting qualities that have enabled them to win the last two close games will stand them in good stead at the Arena next Saturday...

Can a vivid and interesting book be at the same time stupid and dull? Yet the article shows the author an acute observer...
...when Yale played Princeton and Harvard on successive Saturdays and was well pleased with the arrangement and results. To postpone, the game a week would be to make football a nearly winter sport. But, more than that the CRIMSON believes that any lengthening of the football season would be bad from the point of view of the players and of the College, which suffers enough, as it is, from the football mania. A touch of the mania, such as we have now, is splendid counter-irritant, but it could easily become a dangerous disease in itself. We hope that this...
