Dartmouth smashed the Crimson, 34 to 7, despite the brilliant tackling of Ticknor, yet victories over Florida and Holy Cross followed. The Michigan game was disappointing, 14-12 for the Wolverines, but the Crimson played a fine game, and it was disappointing only in that Harvard should come so close...

By the time they are ready to let the troubling word "love" cross their lips, they decide with childlike gravity that love is for grownups and that they are star-crossed by their years...
