...work of the men on the right side of the line, Ristine, J. Lawrence and Burnett, was very aggressive in offense and fairly steady in defense. On the other side of the line, however, Campbell allowed Laurson to make several good gains around him, and Graydon and Lee let the West Point backs slip through them for good distances. Roberts was tried at centre in the second half and did better than usual. He was still slow in the open field, but was very valuable in stopping plays against the line...
...Let me at once clear the air and open the way for some suggestions which may be of service to you by saying that I have not come here to denounce money. There has been a disposition, more or less evident at many points in the history of modern civilization, but never quite so significant as in our own generation, to regard wealth as at best a doubtful blessing; and, especially in its organized accumulations, as an unmixed evil. Now no one can deal candidly with the teaching of Jesus Christ without realizing that He was the revealer of principles...

...eight hits credited to Harvard were of the scratch order, and twice the side was retired with the bases full. On the other hand the men showed no impatience and generally good judgment in batting. Kernan pitched well except in the sixth and seventh innings when he let down and allowed Tufts five hits and a base on balls. Coolidge played brilliantly at shortstop and made the prettiest play of the game in the seventh inning, when he stopped a hard grounder with one hand and cut off Curran at the plate. He also led the team in batting with...
