...fists much too freely, especially on Knipe, the Pennsylvania halfback. Instead of making this an excuse for "slugging," Captain Mackey simply suggested that Emmons was not in condition to continue playing and that he ought to be taken off the field. Emmons was taken off the field and the matter thus terminated without any hard feeling. Captain Mackey shut his eyes to what might easily have been looked upon as an invitation to slugging, and proved himself a man. We speak of these things not with any desire to make them prominent, but simply because the morale of an eleven...

Every man who knows the puzzles and uncertainties of a fall campaign in football must feel that the men who go through it all and finally bring victory to their University are deserving of the highest praise, especially when their victory comes right after a disheartening defeat.

Her sportsmanlike spirit will assert itself here as elsewhere and give to Yale the credit of having won fairly and squarely and purely on her merits...
...facts to ourselves; the eleven was fairly outplayed. It is true that Yale had unquestionable luck in regard to the wind, and it is further true that Harvard had mishaps which seriously affected her chances. How the game would have resulted if these particulars had been different, is a matter of idle speculation; we must recognize the fact that, as matters actually were, Yale won a clean victory...
