...undergraduates who have though seriously on the football question--and that is a very inclusive category; we believe that it receives little sympathy from graduates. This item is the wholesale and unfriendly criticism of the Harvard coaches, appearing in newspapers the day after the game, and written as a rule by old players whose right to criticise history does not entirely justify. Doubtless only a deep interest in our team could spur industry into writing so many columns. But at best, comments to appear on Sunday morning must obviously be written under the stress of a defeat on Saturday...
...preferment. In some cases these requests are deserving, but the great majority have the weakest grounds for appeal and are most persistent in their demands. In fact, they exaggerate their importance to such a degree that it is difficult to rate them at their true value.

Harvard's three centre men were in every line play and as a rule opened up big holes for Apollonio. Grant showed up well in the open field and caused the Brown backs considerable trouble on and plays. The right end position was ably filled by Macdonald. He made many hard, clean tackles and despite the excellent interference which the Brown backs gave their...
