Although the opposing team is very strong. Harvard should win by a close margin. Dartmouth was unable to do more than hold Williams to a tie game, while the University team had little difficulty in winning 10 to 0, the short time of the halves alone preventing a larger score. The Harvard line-up will be the same as against Carlisle last Saturday. Kennard will start the game at fullback, but it is probable that Ver Wiebe will be put in later. The men are all in good condition...
...team last year. The backfield is especially strong, Pierce and Frothingham being consistent ground gainers. The Yale freshmen outweigh Harvard, and have shown a good deal of reserve power when hard pressed. They have won all their games, defeating Andover, with whom the Harvard Freshmen played a tie game, by the score of 22 to 0. This makes Yale's chances appear somewhat the better.

...face value, the result of Saturday's game was disappointing. There were not a few predictions that the University team would win by two touchdowns, and it was considered doubtful our opponents would score; the thought of being obliged to convert certain defeat into a tie by a long run would have found few supporters. Such is the optimism which will persistently put in appearance when a good start has been made and reckons without its host to its own misfortune. It is to be hoped that this misfortune has amounted to destruction...
...Harvard backfield lacked concentrated power and was only effective at brief intervals, never getting the ball dangerously close to the line by rushing. All of which goes to show the relative strength of the team today in comparison with a strong team. We should be grateful for a tie score under the circumstances...
