...makes a wretched pass to Saxe and Harvard loses ground. Wood carries the sphere back and with the aid of Porter and Appleton gets to the 20-yard line. Saxe takes the ball over and twenty-four minutes after the play began makes the fourth touchdown, but does not succeed in kicking a goal. Score...
...past been unexcelled, and we believe would be so now if all the men who are conscious of athletic ability would come out and help on the team. Where a man does his best for the honor of his college, he shows an honorable thing, whether he himself succeed or fail.

I suppose it is natural for a nine to be condemned because it has suffered reverses; it is an almost universal, though most unfair, custom. But I see no reason why any particular man should be blamed because he failed to bring victory from almost sure defeat...
