...regular forces scored came as a result of six touchdowns and one extra point. The dropkicking was woefully weak and can stand much polishing before the Yale game. Harper plunged over the center of other line for the first tally, and also made the second on a ten yard romp off tackle...
...Saturday night, February 27, 1926, the speedy Crimson track team again outstripped the invading hosts, placing in every event and totaling 59 points to its credit. The Hanoverian dark horses were able to romp home with 30 1-2 points, while the Red and White Ithacans trailed with 26 1-2 points.
