...race was a discouraging study in might-have-beens for the Crimson harriers, whose depth potential showed through even in defeat. Mark Mullin placed fourth just behind Nick Jennison of Dartmouth, with the next Harvard runners, Perry, Hildreth, Baldwin, Slansky, and Benjamin finishing in seventh to eleventh positions. Hallagan and Tompkins of Dartmouth provided the Green with its margin of victory by running fifth and sixth...
Dartmouth gave the Crimson a scare in 1911, holding the powerful varsity to one touchdown in a 5-3 Harvard triumph. In 1911, the varsity suffered its third defeat under Haughton's coaching, as it dropped an 18-15 decision to the Carlisle Indians, led that season by the immortal Jim Thorpe.

The songs are always apt to the occasion: "Where, Oh Where Has My Little Doggie Gone?" as Yale nears defeat; "There's Something About a Soldier" as Army rolls over Harvard; "Ten Little Indians" as Dartmouth takes the field; or "Yankee Doodle" as New York meets Boston at Fenway Park...
