...present system does not secure an audience which is distinctly from the University communities: near me on the grand stand sat scores of people who were simply members of an outside public interested in a great sport. It is right for the public to have an opportunity to come in after the University, but the system applied this year was somehow such that a member of the Corporation was assigned one of the most undesirable corner seats, while thousands of people who had no claim on the College were occupying good seats...

The Harvard team easily defeated Pennsylvania, but did not come up to expectations in the Yale game. Yale was satisfied with a tie, which under the circumstances was a moral victory...
