...first place there is the student who is looking forward to a professional school, and who is pointing his entire college work toward a broad and comprehensive preparation for a life of professional usefulness...
...Crimson combination showed more power fundamentally than any University team in recent years. Springfield, although fighting stubbornly, was considerably inferior to the Harvard eleven and did not offer it a very severe test. The forward wall, averaging 187 pounds, showed great lift and coordination on the offense, but had little opportunity to prove its worth on the defensive.

...coupled with ability to flash an accurate aerial attack, augur well for the season.

S. four had failed to win, their forward would certainly have received the blame; just as certainly their victory was due to his abruptly brilliant play in the last period...
