Harvard lost again to Yale at Hampden Park, Springfield, on Saturday by a score of 6 to 0. It was a magnificent game from start to finish and with the defeat comes the feeling of pride in the eleven which represented the college so nobly. Nothing but praise is heard for the honorable, scientific, straightforward game which the eleven put up. Considered in comparison with the games of the season it stands in striking contrast, while the work of the coaches during the past ten days has shown that Harvard has at last found graduates among her ranks...
...defeat for us nevertheless and Harvard looks upon it as such, and will bear it worthily. That the team was a failure, however, she will not admit. Every man who witnessed that game was and is proud of the eleven and has nothing but the deepest respect for the men who composed it.

Seldom has Harvard been represented so handsomely on the football field; and when we realize, moreover what the eleven has done the last few weeks, and compare its work in former games with that of Saturday, we must...
...hands and that it will receive faithful, conscientious and skillful coaching. Certainly he can be assured of our appreciation of his assistance and our strong hope that he will be with us another year. Nor do we owe too much to Captain Trafford. Though he has met with defeat, earnestness and faithfulness have been ever present characteristics in his work and he well merits the honor and trust which the college gives him. Finally we must not forget Mr. Deland, who has spent so much time for our benefit in a scientific study of football. It has been partly...
