...fighting spirit of the 1911 University football team, in which had been placed the confidence of all Harvard supporters, proved in the Yale game Saturday afternoon that it was worthy of that confidence. The Blue had many anxious moments and in the last few minutes of play seemed face to face with defeat at the hands of the ever strengthening Harvard eleven. But a try for a goal from the field just missed, and in two plays the ball was punted out of danger to the middle of the field. Time was called before either team had a further chance...
...dissatisfied, whether Harvard or Yale supporters; they had come to see one or the other team carry off the glory of the day and could not help being disappointed at a scoreless tie.

The Princeton, Carlisle, and Dartmouth games of the last three Saturdays have showed conclusively...
...honorary editor of the paper, has done a brilliant piece of work that sets a high standard for the drawings. And almost all are good, some very funny in themselves, some admirably illustrating the verses that accompany them. The caricatures are excellent, especially the clever pictorial review of the Blue Bird. The whole number, however, overflows with a good, healthy, fantastic humor. It never descends into profundity, is not boastful as some Yale Game numbers have been, but is as ready to make high-spirited fun of our own failures as of those of our guests...
