...expectations of a well played and closely contested game with Pennsylvania were fully realized and the one sided score does not show how hard Harvard had to work to win. Pennsylvania played a hard and tricky game and was only kept from scoring by the sharpest work. Several times the ball was carried the length of the field by short, quick rushes, which the Harvard rush line seemed unable to check. The other weak points in Harvard's play were poor passing, fumbling by the halfbacks, and inability of the rush line to hold their opponents long enough to give...
...sixth. Now, however, we are informed that they must be handed in today. The requirement would not seem so severe perhaps, if the forensic pamphlet had been in the hands of the students at the beginning of the college year; but under the circumstances it does seem a little hard that men should be forced to prepare briefs within a week from the time they receive the list of subjects, particularly as the conscientious preparation of a brief prepare supposes that the most of the reading for the thesis has been done. It would be all very well...

Ninety was a little heavier in the rush line, and often succeeded in getting through to Ninety-two's half backs, but Ninety-two was able to make holes rather to often considering the weight against them...
...must if not directly, yet indirectly help the cause of football here. And this is exactly what has been needed. More men have taken active interest in the sport this year than at any time perhaps in the history of college athletics, and as a result we have had hard work and good teams...
