After a season of hard conscientious effort, the Harvard football team went down in defeat before the Yale eleven at New Haven on Saturday by a score of 23 to 0. The final game found the elevens of both universities in the best of condition and a contest resulted that was fully worthy of the large crowd of 30,000 spectators who witnessed the play. It was a defeat, decisive and convincing, but one which the pluck and unremitting endeavor of the losers rendered almost as satisfying as a victory.

...defeat at the hands of the Dartmouth eleven, but the experience of that was invaluable on account of the particular emphasis it gave to this cardinal weakness in the Harvard team.

An appropriation was made to continue the salary of M. Pianelli, the professional instructor...

...contest this afternoon should be of particular interest, owing to the fact that it will afford an unusually serviceable basis for comparing the Harvard teams of this and last season. The Dartmouth eleven today is with three exceptions composed of the same men whom Harvard defeated a year ago by a score of 26 to 12. Both of Dartmouth's scores at that time were made on blocked kicks, so that the score does not truly indicate the extent to which the losing team was outplayed. Dartmouth has developed a remarkably strong back-field, and with an attack which...
