...year the singing and cheering started late, and, as the Cornell game showed, much practice is needed in both. In the mass meeting tonight and in the smaller meetings that are to be held next week, abundant opportunity will be given for learning and practicing the songs and cheers.

Nevertheless, the defensive work was Harvard's best quality. In the second half Captain Fish, who was hardly in condition, played brilliantly in Forster's place, inspiring the team with new life, which made the victory possible...
