...Harvard attack was practically powerless for the major part of the game. In sharp contrast to the tackling of the Crimson forwards, the William and Mary defenders stopped the Harvard backs short. Captain Elliott, M. Davis, Parsons, and especially Todd, aided by the half-backs, buried the "new" Crimson offense; even Crosby failed to gain much ground.

This argument prevailed in spite of the two rebuttals: 1) The Roman Catholic Church recognizes no cousins...
...only recently that the architects in charge of cloistering the Yard, feeling that some contrast to the brick red and slate gray of the new dormitories was necessary, inspected some eighteenth century prints of the Yard, now hanging in the President's office in University Hall and discovered that the tympanum of Holden and the clock on Massachusetts were there depicted as blue...
