...Swain, Burnett and Donald. With this nucleus of old players has been built up a Harvard eleven which today stands fully as strong as last year's at this date. The slump did not occur this year unless the reaction succeeding the Pennyslvania game can be called such. The minor teams, even the Indians and Pennsylvania, were powerless against the Harvard eleven...
...action of the athletic committee in doing away with preliminary practice was a mistake. Beginning a season with so-called "minor games" does not answer the same purpose. the average knowledge of the game and the average strength and efficiency of players the country over have increased with such rapidity that any game, even the first, may be a hard one.

The small teams and even the Indians have been powerless against the Harvard eleven. The weak points which are now apparent are minor ones which can not be factors in the result of today's game...
