...faults, the most fatal of which was fumbling. Against a team playing faster and more accurate football than Pennsylvania, a dropped ball would result in a touchdown for the opponents. Attempts to correct this fault were made early in the season, and it is very discouraging to have it crop out now. The overeagerness of the forwards also cost Harvard the possession of the ball at critical times. Daly's generalship was open to criticism. He undoubtedly put dash into the team, and, as an individual player, was brilliant throughout the game. But his plan of repeated attacks...
...wise choice, and one which will receive the support of the undergraduates. If ever a man of energy is needed it is for this position. Experience has shown that proficiency in track athletics more than in any other sport is liable to be of a "dark-horse" nature, to crop out in quarters where least expected, and a captain's work consists in searching out just such material and testing its unknown qualities.

They are generally written with such a complete understanding as might have come either to a book agent who has spent a few hours in a dormitory or to a man who has lunched with a friend at Memorial Hall...

The men seemed to lack entirely any spirit of aggressiveness, and it was rarely that the backs showed anything like interference.

...composition will be in the minds of the authorities; work on Soldier's Field will then begin, and the actual campaign for the Springfield game will open in earnest. This work will be done in secret, behind closed gates. With this secret practice, chances for the usual crop of rumors will be much more favorable, and, in a few days the sensation-makers, who feed on lies and scandal, will be in full enjoymen of their chosen fare. There will be all sorts of guesses about new tricks and soon these scavengers will prove conclusively that tricks won't work...
