...football team enters the game with the Yale freshmen this afternoon with a decided advantage in weight over its rivals. The Harvard Freshmen average 178 pounds to their opponents' 174, but the greatest difference is in the comparison of the lines. Yale's line averages 179 pounds per man while the Freshmen average is 191 pounds. The Freshman line from tackle to tackle totals the enormous figure of 200 pounds per man, while Yale's line would ordinarily be a very heavy one, with an average of 187. In the backfield Yale has a two-pound advantage...
...well as coaches. The Crimson was an inexperienced eleven, an eleven which had to know defeat by a minor college team before it began to weld into an efficient organization. It was all of that on Saturday last.

The Crimson line outweighs the Tigers by 184 pounds to 178, and from tackle to tackle, the difference in favor of the University is 190 to 185. R. Harte '17 and C. A. Coolidge '17, the University ends, outweigh the Princeton ends...
Princeton has a good team now, but Harvard has a team that can bear favorable comparison with the best of past years. Those false prophets that cried all too soon that this year, with Mahan absent and the organization of 1915 broken, would be a year of defeats now lack honor in their own country. After the Cornell triumph the Crimson regained its traditional strength, and a Harvard team that thinks only in terms of victory takes the field today...
...comparison of the influence of the University abroad as compared with that of other colleges, Mr. Chevalier says "The writer has spent years in countries where there are millions and millions of human beings who never heard of Harvard. Visits to many countries give and the impression that there are more Yale and Cornell men abroad than Harvard men, and probably more Cornell men than Harvard and Yale men combined...
