...transcending the bitter disappointment of defeat is the satisfaction of knowing that our team fought with a tonacity and spirit that will long be remembered by Harvard men. With a Yale team spurred on by the goad of former crushing defeats only twelve yards from a touchdown, the Crimson line withstood eight frantic onslaughts, while the fighting spirit of Harvard reduced the gains from yards to foot. Such a superhuman stand was a tribute to both the coaches and players of the 1916 team...
