...pinned all her faith on offense alone, and confined all her efforts in that line to one play, the guards back formation. Harvard, on the other hand, used all styles of play, and although accomplishing nothing extraordinary in any one of these, was able to outplay Pennsylvania sufficiently to win by a good margin.

To select a team from so many candidates and to round it into condition soon enough to win the two important games with Pennsylvania and Yale seemed a very difficult takes. The coaches decided at once to bring about the development of the team very slowly and gradually, and not to vary this policy in the slightest degree. For this reason the elementary practice at starting, running...
