...event of the year, the one that brings in most money to the athletic associations of the colleges competing, the one the great athletes who compete or look on will look forward to with keenest expectation. Until we win, therefore, and earn a place in that game, our efforts toward a dual league will result practically in a dual league between Yale and Princeton, with Harvard "outside the breastworks." It seems to me much like saying to Princeton, "We cannot beat you, but we consider you the scum of the earth, and we will shove...
...game began at 3.38, with Harvard in possession of the ball. It was forced rapidly toward the Athletic club goal line by short rushes. The whole team played an effective, snappy game, the rushers making holes for the backs and blocking off well. Four minutes after play began Frothingham kicked a goal from the field. Score 5-0.

Of the game itself it is perhaps best to make little criticism. Our team certainly has more reason for pride than for regret. It is by far the best eleven Harvard has ever put into the field, and had it met an amateur undergraduate team, like itself, would very likely have won. It may, however, well be doubted...
