...reason--the only reason--suggested for the change is that four miles is too exhausting. Before going any further it must be remembered that it is yet to be shown that any man whose vital organs were sound and who had properly and carefully trained, has ever been injured in a 'Varsity race, either in this country or in England. A certain amount of exhaustion is a necessary result of any severe physical contest where the participants are using their nervous and muscular energy to the highest degree. It takes some little time to regain the energy thus expended...
...after a two years' break with Yale, the five year agreement was signed, and W. Cameron Forbes took charge of Harvard Football, after one of the most unsuccessful seasons Harvard has ever known. To him is due much of the credit for Harvard's success during the five years that followed. Out of dissension and discord he produced concord and the well defined system of coaching and training which has brought Harvard to victory. Instead of having under him a large number of miscellaneous coaches, he established various departments each of which had a responsible man in charge, on whom...
...conditions were completely changed, and Yale was outplayed in every department of the game by perfect team work. Her determined defense could not hold Harvard's tackleback; and on the offense, Yale could not break down the Harvard line.

...minimum and for the first time in the history of Harvard football a special defence was worked out to meet Pennsylvania's guards-back. The distinctive feature of the 1898 eleven was its kicking game, which was to my mind the most highly perfected that any team has ever had. This, the simplicity of the plays, the enthusiasm of the college, and particularly the careful way in which the eleven was handled were the causes of the success...
...only lost after a close fight because Yale had a better one. It is unreasonable to expect to win always, but it is not unreasonable to expect that the University crew shall be a good one always. The present system certainly fills the requirements as nothing else ever did, for it allows a great many men to row who never used to have a chance, but who not infrequently prove to be good,--to row and to be sure of getting instruction. And what is more, the system can always accommodate more. The one thing that is necessary for both...
