...other groups to the extent of six courses; and a pretty careful reflection by students over their choice. The first means that every graduate of Harvard has a fairly thorough conception of the relations, laws, and effects of one subject. At least it is not the present system's fault if he has not. The second insures a breadth of work most valuable, perhaps, to those to whom it is most distasteful. The third prevents the blind, haphazard plunging into the University grab bag for the first four courses which come to hand...

In this work the linesmen had practice in "breaking through," particular attention being paid to the fault of illegal holding, for which Harvard suffered five penalties against Penn. State. The ends under-went a drill in defensive tactics against a set of heavy second team backs, and the University backfield, experimented on some new formations. The last half hour of the afternoon was spent in dummy scrimmage...
