There has probably never been a Harvard team so good and so poor. At times, such as in the first Princeton game, when the acme of hockey was attained, the team seemed unbeatable. Then came a great big slump in the character of play in the McGill and first Yale games. The second Yale game was nothing but fast, aggressive shinny, and finally Saturday, the standard of play was better, but not good enough to defeat the star Princeton seven. The loss of Phillips no doubt had much to do with this defeat, and the injury to Willetts may prove...
...whole the game was very close, both sides having numerous chances to win. From the Harvard standpoint it was very satisfactory to win but many faults were brought out which will have to be eradicated if there is to be a win from Princeton next Saturday. After a bad slump during and immediately after the Christmas training trip, the team has been gradually developing and improving and there is no doubt but that the fighting qualities that have enabled them to win the last two close games will stand them in good stead at the Arena next Saturday...

...this combined with fumbles on the part of Talbot and Knowles resulted in Yale's defeat. After this defeat the Yale team took a distinct brace and showed in the game against Brown that they still had a powerful attack and excellent individual players in spite of the slump of the week previous. Both the touchdowns came as an indirect result of Wilson's brilliant return of punts, while both he and Dunn showed themselves to be consistent ground gainers...
Under the spirited coaching of E. Hart, who captained the championship Princeton eleven of 1911, the Tiger team seems to have recovered from the slump which was evidenced by last Saturday's game. As a whole, the eleven, is showing more life and aggressiveness, the backs, Baker, Glick, and Streit, running off the plays with remarkable snap while the forwards showed more fight in charging than they have before this season. The coaches, Hart and Moffat '84, are the most recent addition to the coaching staff and are bending all their efforts towards perfecting the Princeton eleven for its battle...
