...pluck throughout, a difficult season." It was Hageman who caught a long pass from Wood and carried the ball over the goal line to score the winning touchdown in the last minutes of the Dartmouth game, and earlier, in the first half, by blocking a Dartmouth try-for-point kick, he left open for Harvard a final one-point margin of victory. Continuing, Coach Casey said, "The new captain played especially well against Army, showing his speed in following up kicks and receiving passes and in his offensive game, although opposed by John Price, an unusually fast and heavy player...
Princeton's first touchdown came soon after the start of the last quarter. On the next play, Lassiter caught the Princeton kick-off and ran 95 yd. to a touchdown. Yale got one more touchdown (eight in all) before a long forward pass from Purnell to Johnston scored again for Princeton. The game ended with Yale, still eager to make another touchdown for Booth, on Princeton's 18-yd. line...

The passes he threw at the end of that game made the score Harvard 19, Army 20. His drop kick tied the score. Michigan's Fielding Yost, onetime coach of Benny Friedman, called Wood that year the greatest passer he had ever seen. Since then Wood has often 'justified the compliment. A mediocre runner, at times an uninspired field-general, Harvard's captain has taken longer than it took Booth to achieve the status...
