Fairchild's passing was much at fault. It was not quick or accurate. His pass to Corbett after being tackled was a dangerous and unwise play. Dunlop made a poor attempt to drop on the ball in the beginning of the game when Dartmouth dropped the ball and it rolled towards Harvard's goal. His slowness then was almost inexcusable. There was also an occasional fumble and misunderstanding of signals which reflected little credit on Harvard's work. On the whole, however, the game contained much that was very encouraging...

It is marvellous with what equanimity a freshman team will persist in its childishness when all the football men in college are talking about it and frowning...
