...Harvard elevens. Not only was it fast and aggressive and ever ready to take advantage of Yale's miscues; not only did it distinguish itself by fighting with as great determination and spirit as has ever been shown by any team; but it played one of the cleanest and most sportsmanlike contests of football ever seen on the gridiron.

...Freshman team, who has played very creditably on the University team in the Holy Cross and Pennsylvania games. Neither, however, have Kernan's powerful throw, or his agility in recovering foul files.
