Haskins in his last three matches of the tournament has displayed an uncanny comeback power which turned apparent defeat into victory on several occasions.

It was pointed out that most University teams win half of their games regardless of whether they defeat Yale. The early season games usually result in a large number of victories, which makes 50 per cent a very low figure. A resolution was therefore passed that in the committee's formal set of recommendations the term "half of its games" be altered and "three fourths of its games...
