...defeat. There were also several less important causes: The Yale line was heavier, stronger and faster than Harvard's and this made it practically impossible for Harvard to gain on offensive play. Yale had remarkable team-work and there were always several men to help the runners and pull them along for a few extra yards, all of which was lacking in Harvard's offense. Yale also had a slight advantage of condition and profited greatly by Harvard's mistakes; but all these shortcomings, although they increased the score, were not the cause of Harvard's defeat...
...first team showed a great deal of strength and at times played well, but there was a general lack of spirit which prevented satisfactory work. The men failed to give each other help, and when the runner fell the rest of the team did not try to push or pull him any further. The backs were a little slow in starting the line plays and the centre men were not aggressive enough in opening holes. The defensive work of the line was uncertain. Sometimes it practically destroyed the second team's plays before they started and at others...
...much quickness on the defense that Pennsylvania's powerful offense was practically useless. In all, Pennsylvania gained many yards, but the gains were not consecutive and, without gaining that is steady, no team can win except on flukes or on its opponents' mistakes. Pennsylvania, therefore, was unable to pull out a victory by its own peculiar style of play, while Harvard, knowing the rudiments of the game thoroughly and having a fair amount of team play in all styles of offense, had little difficulty in scoring on Pennsylvania's untrained defense...

...strong race. George at 7 is clumsy and tends to slug when he is tired, but is a powerful man and has clean watermanship. Whitwell at 6 has held his place throughout the season and shown steady improvement; he is heavy but has the strength to pull his weight. Graydon, No. 5, is one of the smoothest and most powerful oars in the boat; he rowed last year at St. Paul's in the Shattuck crew. Switzer and Bent at 4 and 3 worked their way up from lower crews and have shown much improvement. Derby, No. 2 and captain...
