...Harvard debaters excelled in form and in the manner of presenting their arguments, but the Princeton men were equally strong in the arguments themselves. The Harvard men were uniformly superior in delivery, language and all the points of form, and their arguments fitted well together and developed more smoothly than those of the Princeton speakers. Bruce began rebuttal work in his first speech, the second on the Harvard side, whereas the first two Princeton speeches were entirely set and made no attempt to meet the affirmative's arguments.

Humphrey, is seen that much over...
Yale's strongest offensive play is a mass on tackles and neither team will put much reliance on end plays. Harvard will depend on dive plays inside the tackles. Yale will probably direct many of her plays at Lawrence, but his great improvement this year makes him fully equal to Donald. Harvard's centre is impregnable...
