...number of men who have taken an active interest in debating in the past has never been large and for this reason they can not be given too much credit for the magnificent list of victories which they have won for Harvard. If they are given the support this year which they deserve there is no reason to fear that the record will not be kept...
...great undertaking to put on an opera of such magnitude, not going outside of the regular company for material.

Playing almost unsupported on strange grounds, they did not allow these disadvantages to discourage them but went into the game with a spirit which would have done them credit on Soldiers Field. We assure all the members of the team that their efforts in the game and during the season's training are thoroughly appreciated. The substitutes are not less worthy of praise for the indispensable part they have had in the development of the eleven...
