...Crimson wins which led up to the break of 1912. The contest in this year, the last before relations were resumed in 1922, was one of those seesaw affairs, with both teams fighting bitterly for an advantage, which finally came to Harvard through the talented toe of C. E. Brickley '15. Something in the way the Dartmouth forwards handled Brickley after one of his other attempts at a field goal which went wide of its mark, or a desire to put Cornell on the Crimson schedule led to a break in football relations between Harvard and Dartmouth following this game...

The rivalry between the Chicago teams, the Bears and the Cardinals, weekly brings out crowds of 40,000 spectators. Kansas City, Rock Island, Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland, Canton...
