...will compensate for a defeat by Yale? Possibly the ideal of sport is a game in which the fun of playing eclipses the desire for victory. However unfortunately constituted, no real American team can feel that they have accomplished their purpose unless they at least break even with their strongest opponents...
With two defeats and two narrowly won victories behind it Captain Parker's team will face today an eleven which is generally reported to be one of the strongest Yale has ever produced.

Although Michigan has been entered in recent Pennsylvania carnivals, these came too early in the season to afford a fair comparison. Another factor...
