They coined the phrase "Yale Spirit," as synonymous of unconquerable determination, and made the Bulldog, an animal of more courage than refinement the symbol of the college...
...George Frederick Gundelfinger has at last advanced upon Harvard and the "vaunt-couriers" of his prolific pen have arrived in the shape of that now famous pamphlet, "Why the Bulldog is Losing His Grip." From a hasty glance at his opening fire-works, it appears that "Gundelfingery" has forced its way to the fore against tremendous odds.

But Fisher kept Hubbard, Coburn, Jenkins, Lee, McGlone, and Cheek out of the contest, and its result would certainly have been different had they been in. It is doubtful it the Brown center could have blocked Pfaffmann's disastrous drop kick had Hubbard been in the Crimson line. The score of the game, however, proves at least...
