Behind the line, Marshall, Kernan and Graydon should hold their positions. L. J. Daly '03 and D. A. Baldwin '03 seem to be the next strongest candidates for quarter, with the chances in favor of the former, whose strength on the offense and ability to drop-kick more than offset the latter's strong defensive work. T. G. Meier '04 and D. D. L. McGrew '03 are strong, but slow candidates for fullback, and R. Derby '03, J. A. Knowles '03, G. L. Jones '03, A. W. Swann '03 and O. C. Mackay '04 are reliable halfbacks. It is possible...
...game between the graduates team and the scrub proved the greater attraction. The most prominent players of a dozen years past were in the line up, including Walter Camp, McClung, Chamberlain, Butterworth Heffelfinger, Brown, Throne, and others from the recent teams. The brilliancy of their individual playing was largely offset by lack of team work. The graduates won by a score...

A sonnet by W. Bynner is almost unintelligible to the average mind; perhaps the author understands...
Harvard has the nucleus for a strong track team next year. Several of the most valuable men will not return to College, but their loss will be largely offset by the abundance of promising material which remains, including not only many of the point winners in this yea 's meets, but a large number of candidates who need only a little experience to develop them into creditable performers...
...Harvard team was as heavy as Pennsylvania's, the men showed none of the clumsiness which sometimes mars the work of a heavy team. The steadiness and the unusual speed with which the entire eleven plunged into the plays were the principal causes of Harvard's victory. This offset the Pennsylvania attack, and when that was done the team gained its opportunity to win. Here again, in the attack, quickness was the essential feature. The interference was not very smooth, it was not especially steady and was not strong, but the speed and the vigor with which the plays started...
