...Yale University Club has arranged for a special train of five or six sleeping cars to the Harvard-Yale game...
...Harvard Freshman eleven defeated the Pennsylvania freshmen on Soldiers Field, Saturday, by the decisive score of 41 to 5. The Pennsylvania players were outweighed to a marked degree and the result of the game was at no time in doubt. They played a creditable uphill game however, in spite of their light weight, and forced Harvard to work hard for every touchdown. Few long gains were made through their line, and Harvard's touchdowns were made by short plunges after good end runs. Pennsylvania held Harvard only once for downs and gained the required five yards but twice...

How much they can stop Harvard's offensive play cannot be determined, but it is certain they will gain little ground by the guard's back formation...
