...second three-quarters Yale set to work desperately to recover the lost ground, but every time the ball approached our line the perfect catching and kicking of Willard saved the day, and Yale could not even score a safety. Coxe and Ketchum, whose weight aggregated about 450 pounds, tried their best to score for the blue, but were foiled in every attempt. Many of our men were conspicuous for their good tackling, notably Cochrane, Burgess and Fiske, while Brooks often gained ground by sharp rushing. As time wore on it seemed that Harvard must win, but just before the close...
Peabody caught and kicked very finely throughout the game, but the best playing on either side was done by Willard, whose judgment and accuracy were remarkable. His play was cool and steady throughout, and the fact that he did not miss a catch or a kick shows how close a game he played. For Yale Dennen played remark-ably well, but barring his work the blue was unquestionably out-played, for had it not been for their advantage in weight our sharp tackling and sure kicking must have added to our score. Our freshmen showed a lack of endurance toward...
...doubt but that the athletic committee of the faculty in pursuit of an ideal state of athletics will forbid the nine to hire a professional trainer for next year. We are very sorry for this.

The committee state that they see no reason to change their opinions of last year, and that they are satisfied...
...game to be played in Cambridge. This action on the part of Columbia, together with her refusal to play the Princeton game, will probably result in her expulsion from the association. With the best of feelings toward Columbia, it would be impossible for the association to retain a member whose engagements are made on so unreliable a basis. Harvard and Princeton both, will probably feel bound, in justice to themselves, to insist on the withdrawal of the New York team. The only allowable excuse a team has for such conduct is a written refusal signed by two members...
...knows just about what all his men are doing in the way of training, -indeed they have to train to stand so much daily work. Princeton's great advantage of course lies in beginning work before the middle of September. Then as most of the men are upper classmen whose play and positions are comparatively well known, the team is soon permanently picked out, and an almost faultless team play results. Give Harvard, with her superior material, such foot-ball advantages as these, and our eleven would be the best in the country. To these add scientific coaching such...
