...Saturday afternoon and watched Harvard battle the Indians on even terms during the first half, succumb to the wizardry of Masters running in the third period and then wilt miserably under the final onslaughts of the Hanover forces. In the first quarter Marsters' work brought the ball from his team's 37-yard stripe, where he received a punt, to the 4-yard line, whence Sutton went over for the score. The Crimson reversed the order of things in the second period. B. Ticknor, after catching a Green dropkick, advanced to Harvard's 40-yard line; Potter hurled a long...
Those are the simple facts of the story, but the clash proved that Dartmouth belongs among the elite and that Harvard has far from a good team. The game was won and lost in the forward lines.

It seems remarkable that no one has been hurt in this way before, and there is no reason to believe that some one may not be seriously injured in the future. A canvas fence with padded posts would serve all the requirements of the present fence, and greatly reduce the danger of serious injury to the players...
