...games with but three defeats and one tie. The World's Champions Red Sox, the Army and the Navy, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Holy Cross, Dartmouth, Tufts; these are of the more important teams which have been defeated. Of the set-backs, Catholic University has since been beaten by nines inferior to the Crimson, Brown merely broke even, and Boston College has been shown in a second game not to be of the calibre to be rated above Harvard; while Virginia's tie was later in the season more than offset in a shut-out defeat at the hands of Whitney...
...record of the Boston College nine now stands with six victories and eight defeats. This poor showing has not been due entirely to inferior team work or to lack of baseball ability, but chiefly to the extraordinary prowess of the nines which it has faced. They include Catholic University, Georgetown, the Red Sox and Tufts, all heavy-hitting clubs. In addition the team got away to a very poor start and dropped five straight games before it could get fully on its feet. Four out of its last five contests have resulted in victories, one of them being...

Harvard's defence, however, which has not been scored on in the last three games, should be able to cope with the Canadians' attack, although Captain Morgan will probably be unable to play on account of a bad cold, and the forward line is playing in equally high form...
Penn. State, with a team hailed as the best ever, and with a record of having tied last year's championship eleven, next came to Cambridge and after the test at the Stadium went back to Pennsylvania with a 13 to 0 defeat. Although the Harvard line was inferior, and the interference still noticeably weak, Captain Mahan's brilliant play and Parson's keen following of the ball gave the University two touchdowns, which proved decisive. In this game there appeared for the first time an embryonic power in the University's attack, ragged but great, for the second score...
