...valuable men, and S. S. Ford '09 and L. H. Butt '08, who played on the second team last year, are promising candidates. With all these men to pick from, there should be little difficulty in forming a strong team early in the season which shall have a good opportunity to develop team play...
Harvard, in order to win a fair share of victories, must throw over ultra-conservatism and adopt a progressive policy. Other colleges are willing to adopt the good things our University offers; why do we not follow the undoubted leader in football? West Point and Annapolis have done it with success, and it is needless to mention how many other colleges have had Yale coaching.

In the Stadium several formations were tired, ending finally in a gigantic "H" of torches, covering nearly the whole gridiron. The fireworks, while hardly sufficient to make a good showing in so large a space, added to the beauty of the scene. West of the Stadium the bonfire, a big, substantial one, was started as soon as the fireworks were exhausted. Gathered around the fire, cheers were given for "John," and "Fair Harvard" was sung just before the march...
