...last Saturday on Soldiers Field, by a score of 11 to 0. It was the closest game that has been played between the two universities since 1898, but did not result in as great a feeling of satisfaction as is generally produced by a favorable score in a close contest. From considerations merely of physical qualities and training, Harvard should easily have outclassed Pennsylvania, but the comparison, when determination and worthiness of effort are counted in, is not complimentary to the victor. The Harvard eleven had many more chances, to score than the ordinary game usually affords...
...team that is but two weeks from the final contest of the year, the showing of the Harvard eleven was as discouraging as could well be imagined.

...call to mind a poorer practice than that of the University football team yesterday would be a most difficult task. Not since the start of the season has a more spiritless or unsatisfactory exhibition occurred; and in view of the close proximity of an important contest, the showing was certainly disquieting.

Harvard assumed rushing tactics from the start, and about the middle of the first half, after Kernan, by a 40 yard run had carried the ball to the 5 yard line, made the one touchdown of the game. During the remainder of the play the nearest approach to a score was when Harvard had the ball within 16 yards of Brown's goal and was then held and forced...
