...Forbes was again in charge. The season opened with prospects none too bright for a winning eleven. Yale was the favorite at the start, but Harvard gradually advanced while Yale stood still; and as a result the Crimson eleven beat Pennsylvania for the first time since 1893, and Yale for the first time since '91. The coaching had been more systematic. The plan of having sub-head coaches was perfected and more strictly adhered to. The plays were cut down to a minimum and for the first time in the history of Harvard football a special defence was worked...
...from the University Press, is a collection of fourteen exceedingly clever caricatures of men connected with Harvard or Harvard undergraduate life. The drawings, by E. R. Little '04, and the marginal designs, by F. G. Hall '03, are excellent; the accompanying verses, by H. M. Eliot, Jr., '02, are bright and pointed.

Later in the season Kernan, Roberts, Lee, Clark and Putnam reported...
...beginning of the season, Pennsylvania's prospects for a strong football team were less bright than those of any other of the larger colleges. Hare left guard, McCloskey, centre, Wallace and Zimmerman, tackles, and the entire back field including McCracken had graduated, and only three members of last year's eleven had returned. In reorganizing the team, the old players, W.
