...return of Arnold Horween as head coach of the 1930 Harvard football team is no surprise to followers of Crimson gridiron fortunes. At the time of the Yale game it is rumored, Horween told the players with whom he had been working during the arduous 1929 campaign that he would come back for another season and even those less intimately connected with the mentor whole heartedly expected his return next fall. Mr. Bingham's announcement was received with thunderous applause by the Harvard players and will be equally well received by University undergraduates and graduates alike...
...victories over Yale stand out as the high lights of the last four years of Horween coached football at Harvard. A fifth year of service here has been made even more attractive by the bright prospect of a third win against the Blue. A complete survey of Horween's record since 1926 reveals 17 victories, 13 defeats and two ties; Harvard has scored 508 points to its opponents 322.

There was a freezing blast sweeping the length of the gridiron which made it extremely difficult for the players to hold on to the ball and for the spectators to convince themselves that they really gave a hoot who won the game. The specs got pretty badly fooled by the weather conditions, good seats in the middle of the field...
Speaking at a Thanksgiving dinner for American students today. Dr. Will Spens, master of Corpus Christi College, expressed a belief that the adoption by Yale and Harvard of the English college system would be likely to fall. The local success of the system could only be maintained after 300 years of experiment and under conditions peculiarly English, he explained...
