...CRIMSON will print a Yale game extra this afternoon, giving a play-by-play account of the football game in the Stadium. This extra will go on sale by the time the returning crowd reaches the Anderson Bridge after the game. In years past the Yale game extra has come off the press 50 seconds after the finish of the game, and it is expected that this time will be duplicated, if not bettered, today. The extra will contain four pages and will cost five cents...

Furthermore, regular linesmen were not then in vogue, and the spectators were left to guess as to whether the team with the ball had one, two or ten yards to go, or whether it was first, second or third down.

Since then I have constantly improved the system so that today it is accepted as a standard all over the country...
...Harvard team will go on the field a favorite, its goal-line uncrossed except by Princeton two weeks ago. The Bulldog, on the contrary, is considerably the worse for wear; the claw-marks of the Tiger have not yet healed. Yet for that reason Yale, always a fighting organization, will fight harder than ever. It is Harvard's job to smother the grim, determined blue-jerseyed eleven, and we have faith that the Harvard machine can do it. The Crimson team has the driving, smashing power of a locomotive. Whether Yale can stop it remains to be seen...
...Charles street between Boylston and Beacon streets, and on Beacon street, Public Garden side, between Charles and Arlington streets, and on St. James avenue between Arlington and Berkeley streets, side toward Columbus avenue. Cars parked here will be entirely at owner's risk. It is requested that motorists going to business in their cars Saturday morning, and intending to go to the game, park cars here rather than going further down town, as this will relieve to a considerable extent, congestion which would otherwise occur in down-town streets around noon time. Cars going to the game from down-town...
