Every fall we enthuse and the team fights its hardest. Then, after Yale has won by a narrow margin, some try to console us with the statement that we have done our best and suffered an honorable defeat. What ground for self-complacency does that offer us? We should call any man "yellow" who did not play the best he knew how against Yale...
...well with Captain Biglow. Apollonio did some magnificent secondary defensive work behind the line, and was frequently called upon to stop the Yale backs in their heavy mass plays. Rand also played a good defensive game, and interfered well for Wendell's end runs, but could not gain ground himself consistently...
