...have no excuses or complaints to make in regard to the outcome of the great game, nor can any number of "ifs" soften the sting of defeat. Victory went to the better team, and the Yale eleven earned all the credit that it is receiving by playing a hard, clean game and doing it better than its opponents. The University team was helpless against a style of play which it was not prepared to meet on even terms, and for which it had no correspondingly effective attack...
...failure. No team that plays always with every bit of its strength and to the best of its knowledge can be called a failure whether it wins or loses. We are proud of the Harvard team for the victories that it won during the season, and of its hard struggle in a losing game...

The regular tackles, Hobbs and Lilley, are both experienced men and hard and sure tacklers. Andrus and Goebel, the guards, are also experienced players and are dangerous men both on account of their weight and their ability. Cooney, at centre, is a good passer, but his weight makes him slow. Howe, the final choice for quarterback, has shown good judgment in his choice of plays all through...
