...anyone doubts that Harvard students have a flair for hats, let him view the array now spread out in the Crimson office as mementos of a football victory over Yale. When the excitement had died away after the game, the Crimson, alert to the interest of its readers, organized a hat exchange. Many forlorn hats which had become separated from their fathers were thus restored to their homes. Yet now two weeks after the game the orphan hats number nearly thirty. And those who are constantly in and out of Harvard square have no difficulty in recognizing them as Harvard...
This afternoon a Harvard football team--strong, alert, determined--will go out to meet the most powerful Yale eleven developed since the war. No Harvard team has ever had a harder fight on its hands than Captain Kane's eleven has today. The players realize this. But they are ready; they are confident. And they are counting on the support of the student body.

...eleven was not, however, imposing, a 10-0 score being the margin of victory. Only twice in the contest did the Crimson display a really powerful attack, for the charge of the line was sluggish and considerably hindered the work of the backs. Defensively, however, the team proved alert and vigorous, the visitors being unable to gain a single first down. The feature of the game was a 77-yard run by Chapin from his 15-yard line...
