...players. Last week, in full view of 38,000 witnesses including more top-line socialites than any other sports gathering of the year, this notion exploded with a dozen loud and startling cracks. The cracks were made by the mallets of four Argentine poloists knocking the ball through the goal posts four times in each of the last three chukkers of a game against the best team in the U. S.

The goal might well seem to be in sight when, within twenty years of the founding, Oxford and Cambridge (then in the hands of dissenters, to be sure) recognized the Harvard degree as equivalent to their own. But many changes in both the mother country and the Bay Colony were yet to come...
Cracked Harvardman Stuart Chase, Class of 1910: "Most of them ask nothing better than a return to the good old days. . . . One is tempted to ask why we should not settle down to the football of our forefathers, with goal posts on the zero yard line, five yards for a first down, and no forward passes...
