...question at stake is by no means a trivial one. The central states are growing far more rapidly than the eastern in population, in wealth and in culture. Is Harvard to continue year by year to lose her grip on this most vital section of the country, and to become a provincial college with provincial short-comings? Without casting slurs upon Massachusetts, I am free to say that it is the West that Harvard should look for new material in each new class; and yet the West, with a vastly larger population than in 1894, has diminished representation by nearly...

Pennsylvania as a team was sufficiently outclassed to lose the game but it was not the failure of the guards back formation nor the slowness of the defense which allowed Harvard to roll up such a large score. Overconfidence or nervousness, in the first half, gave Harvard chances that steady, careful playing would have prevented. In the second half this wore off, and the teams were more evenly matched...
