...what might have been expected. Every college with which it has competed, on the other hand, has had the benefit of expert professional coaching. A few members of our team have perhaps had the benefit of a little such coaching when they were in preparatory schools, for even the latter are very generally provided with adequate coaches. Their companions in these schools who have passed into the teams of other colleges, even the smallest ones, have had this training continued until they have developed into strong runners. But those who have come to Harvard have met there a "laissez aller...
During the past month the University cross-country team has been badly defeated in three races, in consequence of which the opinion has already been expressed, even in a Harvard publication, that the team is not properly qualified to represent Harvard, and should therefore no longer be allowed to enter intercollegiate competitions. This is the unsportsmanlike spirit with which basketball, after a slow decline, was last year buried by action of the Athletic Committee.

Coy went through the centre for a scant two yards, but Philbin was unable to gain even a foot at right tackle on the next play. Coy dropped back to the 25-yard line to try a drop kick, but the ball went wide and was brought out to Harvard's 25-yard line where it was put in play...
