...multiply on the part of those best fitted to improve the stock; that is, those who have shown their talents by their achievements. Obviously, no race can maintain its quality if it practices those methods which stock breeders would adopt if they aimed at the production of an inferior stock, that is, by breeding principally from inferior or mediocre individuals. From this standpoint, President Eliot's observations concerning the size of the families of Harvard graduates are especially significant...
...Pomfret in a very rough game by the score of 4 to 0. As in previous games the lack of team-work was chiefly responsible for the defeat, but the passing was also very poor and the men slow on their skates. The work as a whole was distinctly inferior to that in the practice game against the University team on Tuesday...
Clothier, pitted against an end of national reputation, showed himself not inferior to Shevlin, and played a game more sportsmanlike than that of his opponent. Captain Marshall at quarterback, played a remarkable game, handling punts reliably, running back the ball spiritedly and carrying the ball for long gains around end.

...Harvard eleven, both as a team and as individuals, cannot be given too much praise for their aggressive and powerful work in the face of the supposedly far superior team of Yale.

The defense, though not evenly balanced in strength on both sides of the line, was sufficient to prevent substantial gains by Princeton in rushing. The offense showed great speed, strength and team-work, and was at times invincible. Hogan, Bloomer, Shevlin and Kinney were used to advance the ball almost as frequently as the backs, and proved that Yale's offensive game is versatile as well as powerful. With the fault of fumbling eradicated, the Yale eleven is likely to prove not far inferior...
