...been 42; the squad of 70 in 1902 was the largest number. In cross-country Harvard has won second place twice; third place once; fourth place twice; fifth place twice; and seventh place once. A third place in 1908 is the best record in cross-country by a Harvard runner...
Harvard entered a team in the intercollegiate cross-country run for the first time in 1902, when the event was held for the fourth time. In every year since then Cornell has won the cross-country run, always with a score under 30. Five of the years a Cornell runner has won the individual championship...
...including onside kicks, and averaged 35 yards on each kick. Kilpatrick played a wonderful game at end. He was almost invariably the first man down under a punt, though Coy was out-punting his ends between ten and twenty yards on the average. Kilpatrick never failed to keep the runner inside of him, and his defence was of the best. Hobbs and Cooney were both very effective in the line, Hobbs blocking one of Minot's punts which resulted in the first score, Philbin, outside of one brilliant run of 40 yards after catching a punt, was not as spectacular...
...Freshman football team practice yesterday consisted in a blackboard talk, a drill in formations and plays against the substitutes in which particular attention was paid to forming interference around the runner, and punting to the backfield.

...Sophomores kicked off to the Juniors, who advanced the ball to their 35-yard line where they were held for downs. Upon receiving the ball, 1912, supporting the runner well, broke through the Junior line repeatedly, but on a third down, their forward pass failed, and the Juniors took the ball on their own 30-yard line. The Juniors were able now to plow through the Sophomores' line as easily as the latter team had done it a moment before, and a series of skin-tackle plays by Heath netted several good gains. At last, the 1912 team held them...
