...this year's football season the prospect for a Harvard team comparable to those of the last few years seemed slight. In the face of great difficulties, Coach Haughton has developed a fighting unit which has defeated Cornell and Princeton. However strong the Yale eleven may prove, we may feel certain that the omnipresent influence of Haughton's system will be evident. This year's football team deserves greater credit than some of the more famous teams of former years, for it has proved its worth against great odds.

...greatness at home in some branch of industry which is already highly developed. China wakens and calls for an army of engineers. India, bewailing her illiteracy, calls for teachers.

In all reason, why should Princeton players feel any diminution of spirit just because their opponents are from Harvard or Yale? There is no magic significance in either a Crimson jersey or a Blue jersey. It takes men to make a football team--men who will permit nothing to stop them. Princeton has such men and that "drive" which can defeat Harvard...
