Cannot something be done before the Yale game to inspire the Harvard football team with more life, dash and rhythm? I am not indulging in any censorious Jeremiad, for it was evident to every spectator that the Harvard team could not have beaten the Princeton team, even if they had played far beyond themselves and there is no disgrace nor no cause for self-reproach whenever one loses to a superior opponent. I am simply greatly worried about the contrast in the general condition and attitude of the two sets of players, one of the most striking and even tragic...
...gray ranks of West Point's cadets marched evenly into the Yale .Bowl. Unawed by militarism, a chunky Eli, Halfback Pond, greeted their team promptly with a plunge, a twist, a struggle, a 48-yard dash for a touchdown. The Army marched and countermarched its backfield squad, right and left and double-time, but only once reached the end of the parade ground. Home marched the cadets, more evenly than ever.

Nevertheless the world outside of Spain finds in the affair a hint of the days when literature had a dash of spiteful fire, and principles had not yet succeeded to the commercial urge. Bagaria will, perhaps, never attain to the immortality of Swift, but his is the honor of adding at least a bit of personal invective to an otherwise tame and occasionally unconvincing national literature...
...kicking has been a big factor in the Crimson showing thus far, and the realization that he has shown himself to be, not only a consistent line plugger, but able to make long runs, makes him a threat to be feared. Princeton rooters still wonder why his brilliant dash in the Dartmouth game did not result in a Harvard touchdown. His ability on either end of a forward pass is also recognized...
