...there is something beyond the scores to be considered. In the first halves of the Princeton game and the Pennsylvania game, the eleven played a game which none of the other college teams with better records could excel. But in both games Harvard was beaten fairly. The reason, which all agree, was that Harvard players had not the physical endurance of their opponents. In both the Princeton and Pennsylvania games man after man was injured and the whole team fell off in its play in the second half...
Professor Norton last night addressed the members of the Camera Club and contributors to the exhibition.

And lastly, there is nothing in the tropics which can compare...
...feel great disappointment at the score of the game, there is consolation in the knowledge that in most points Yale was fairly outplayed, and that in one of those - namely, the general team play, - is something in which it has been claimed Harvard would never be able to excel. It is to be hoped that we will now hear less of the old story of Harvard's inability to accomplish anything when unity of spirit and action are required...
Individually the Yale players generally excel their opponents. To begin at the Harvard left end, Captain Emmons is an exception to the rule. He is certainly superior to the light and inexperienced Louis Hinkey, and to Greenway, considering the latter's present state of health. Louis Hinkey is not so heavy, so aggressive, and does not know the game so well...
