...football team--men who will permit nothing to stop them. Princeton has such men and that "drive" which can defeat Harvard and Yale--the "drive" that Eddie Hart's team had. It will be an injustice to themselves if the 1916 team doesn't live up to the implicit confidence which the University has in them. We believe in them. We believe that they will come home victors from Harvard, and that the Yale blue will accurately reflect the color of the Eli thoughts after the game in Palmer Stadium. --Daily Princetonian...

We realize that this is only the second game Haughton has lost in three and a half seasons, a record probably without parallel in Harvard athletics. We believe that Haughton and the team learned several valuable lessons at Princeton which will be utilized to the utmost...
