...been said frequently of late that that Casey isn't as yet a second Mahan. He isn't but the accents should be on the "as yet" rather than the "isn't" and dismissing the case of Natick's latest starring son in a short comparison to Natick Eddie of last season is hardly fair, for it doesn't give a fitting idea of the wonderful running, dodging and passing ability that Casey possesses. With an even break in luck, Casey should hand in more than a smattering of thrills Saturday...
Coach Robinson in continuing draws a brief comparison of the two elevens...
...football team enters the game with the Yale freshmen this afternoon with a decided advantage in weight over its rivals. The Harvard Freshmen average 178 pounds to their opponents' 174, but the greatest difference is in the comparison of the lines.

The Freshman line from tackle to tackle totals the enormous figure of 200 pounds per man, while Yale's line would ordinarily be a very heavy one, with an average of 187. In the backfield Yale has a two-pound advantage...

Those false prophets that cried all too soon that this year, with Mahan absent and the organization of 1915 broken, would be a year of defeats now lack honor in their own country. After the Cornell triumph the Crimson regained its traditional strength, and a Harvard team that thinks only in terms of victory takes the field today...
