...Harvard football team is at last beginning to find itself. That was the verdict at Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon after a long scrimmage with the scrubs in which Coach Fisher's men displayed more power than at any time this season.

Dartmouth's victory has by no means sounded the death knell of the Harvard football season. Coach Fisher may yet develop a winning team from the wealth of potential material at his disposal. A distinct advance is anticipated against Tufts on Saturday, and Harvard hopes to be on equal terms with Princeton when it invades the Palmer Stadium on November...
...inspite of its apparent weakness on Saturday Coach Fisher's eleven may develop amazing power in the next two weeks. The line is still clumsy and chargeless, yet it undoubtedly possesses latent strength and power to no small degree which time alone can bring out.

Its strength was clearly underrated and it is hard to tell what Harvard might have done had the Dartmouth attack been understood and expected by the Crimson forwards. Undoubtedly...

The opinion prevails that Saturday's encounter may have been just the medecine needed to put determination and earnestness in the team for the next fortnight's work, and the critics expect to see vast improvement when the Tiger is faced on November...
