...team and to the University, today is the time. So far, the chief fruit of the labor and self-sacrifice of coaches and players has been disappointment. The team have been criticized as few teams in the past have been and go to Philadelphia more or less under a cloud. That they will do all that men can to retrieve themselves goes without saying. The important thing is to show them the confidence that the College still feels in them...
...last hard practice yesterday was less encouraging than any since the Yale game. A good deal of time was devoted to the usual routine of signal practice, after which the 'Varsity lined up with the second for twenty minutes of fairly hard football. All of the 'Varsity players with the exception of Cabot, Warren and Sawin were out again, and entered into the play.

As a whole, both of these games were encouraging, as the 'Varsity, with the exception of general looseness of play, developed promising form for so early in the season. Dartmouth proved less easy, as they were beaten only 13-0, and prevented Harvard from scoring in the first half. In this game, more than in any of the following ones, Harvard showed her knowledge of the game and ability to put it into practice when in a tight place...
