Still, man for man, the work of the Harvard eleven might be compared favorably with that of Pennsylvania. Between the teams, however, there could be no comparison-Harvard played with eleven men, Pennsylvania with an eleven. But for the individual work of Dibblee, Garrison and Parker, Harvard could never have scored; while in every score made by Pennsylvania it can justly be said that every man had a part. Harvard's slow, careless playing was taken advantage of by Pennsylvania many times...
Saturday's game with Pennsylvania was anything but a pleasant climax to the football season. Pennsylvania won the game distinctly on its merits, and proved beyond doubt that she has the best team of the season. In comparison, Harvard was unquestionably weaker in team play, especially on the offensive. There was one feature of the game, however, which was much more gratifying. The Harvard team played the best game of which they were capable, and kept it up to the very end. In this respect they came up to expectations and redeemed themselves from their former disgrace. Having done their...
This afternoon, Harvard will play her last game of the season against Pennsylvania. From a comparison of scores, indications certainly point to Pennsylvania as the stronger team. However, there is one important factor to be considered before making a too hasty judgment as to the comparative strength of the two elevens-their process of development. Pennsylvania's policy this season has been to bring the team to its highest degree of perfection at the earliest possible date, a fact which has figured prominently in the rolling up of large scores at the beginning of the season, while Harvard's policy...
...played but one regular game this season, it is difficult to make a trustworthy comparison between it and the Freshman eleven. Though the practice games against the substitutes were at first very loose and the interference slow and ragged, the team work has improved very much of late. The eleven has been greatly weakened by the loss of the ends, Beardsell and Clarke, who will be unable to play on account of injuries received in practice, and the loss of Gray and Livermore who are playing with the second 'Varsity. For a class eleven, the line is very light...
...representatives reminds us forcibly that this year it is of the utmost importance for the University to assert her old supremacy in debating. It is hard to admit, but granted it must be, that for the past two years Harvard has made but little progress in debate in comparison with her rivals. It may be that we reached a climax beyond which it is difficult to go, several years since, and that the other colleges, where debating was slow in gaining a foothold, have been gaining ground faster, but this is difficult to believe. At all events, if there...
