...revenge for the defeat of the University at the hands of Yale, the 1921 debaters humbled their Eli opponents last night at the New Lecture Hall. No more interesting and vital subject has ever been the subject for an intercollegiate discussion. The labor question is second in importance only to the question of the equipment and training of our fighting men. The entire shipping problem comes under the head of labor.

Mosser and Angus won two out of their three points, while the other Brae-Burners secured complete victories...
Saturday's game marked the last contest in which several of the University players will appear. No future efforts will serve to offset what defeat has brought them. They have entered a larger service than athletic activity. As they go, Harvard honors them and their leader, who have contributed so much toward establishing war-time sport and who now no longer participate in that which they have so created...
