...Harvard's good fortune on last November 24 is claimed by the Band to be due to the fact that H. L. Holland 1L, the drum-major, made three successive passes over Yale's goalposts without a mistake. Holland, however, in spite of this fine record, is abdicating in favor of one of several candidates whom he will recommend. One of these will be elected drum-major by the members of the Band. The results of this election will be announced about December...
...spite of this unfortunate state of affairs, Governor Johnson continued to speak throughout the state in favor of the candidacy of Mr. Hughes and to ardently and vigorously urge his election. Governor Johnson's speeches were widely quoted by the Republican press and were used in every way to further Mr. Hughes' election. . . .

To the amazement of every one on the Harvard side Ver Wiebe was withdrawn when the ball reached Yale's 20 yard line...
...Haven contingent boasted a strong outfit, and with Gehrke out of the Harvard lineup, little favor was bestowed on the University eleven. Gehrke was carried onto the field on a stretcher, from all appearances to witness the game. Momentary attention was focused on him and then all eyes were turned to the start of play at the kickoff. Four or five minutes after the first whistle Harvard made a substitution, and to the amazement of all, the substitute was Gehrke himself. The team pulled together and for a wild first half swept the much more powerful Eli outfit...
