...fall of '94 he entered the University of Pennsylvania and became a member of the Philomathean Debating Society, which he represented in an interclub debate with the Zelosophic Society. The following fall he entered Harvard, and was on the '99 Freshman debating team which defeated Yale. Morse spent the winter of '96-'97 in Philadelphia doing newspaper work. In the fall of '97 he re-entered Harvard and made the University debating team which lost to Yale at New Haven in December.

This was due in part to the few games played, in part to the lack of attention from the graduate coaches, who have spent most of their time working on the 'Varsity. The past week's hard and very satisfactory practice, however, will doubtless find Yale prepared to play a strong game.

During the half hour spent thus the work was sharp and accurate, and the plays, almost without exception, ran smoothly. The first eleven lined up for a few minutes to block the second eleven's kicks, but were not once successful. After the practice Burnett and Sawin tried goals from the field. Of the twelve coaches who were present, Dibblee and R. D. Wrenn were the only ones to do active coaching which aimed at increased perfection in team play...
