...built upon power and team work. Now it is interesting to note that, with the excepting of Purdue, which not met Harvard before Coach Horween's team has struck its stride, no team has raised havoc with Harvard's forward wall through the medium of straight line football. Dartmouth ran wild around the ends, while Pennsylvania, using trick plays involving the hidden ball, succeeded in outwitting the Crimson forwards, but neither the Green not the Red and Blue did it one straight football...

The remaining ten men formed in two lines, the five lighter on one side, the heavier on the other, extending back diagonally across the field.

A polite murmur of assent ran over the professorial assemblage and the blanketed professorial knees quivered in jubilation over the crack. Then a bony forefinger protruded into space and long white curtains floated in the Stadium atmosphere. "Will the gentleman entering the lower Portal of Section 39 kindly remove his hat?" Thousands sat in awe and whispers of "Well played, ... good eye ... bravo" were heard here and there...
