...greatest loss will be that of Hogan and Bloomer, whose play this year was the strongest asset of the team. Kineon, who was a good substitute this year, will also graduate. At present the strongest candidate for a line position appears to be Forbes, the former Wesleyan player, who is now a regular member of the sophomore class. His work this year on the college team was very good, and he should be a valuable man next fall as he is heavy, fast and knows the game. As substitutes for Neal and Kinney, Cates and Congdon will return...
...favor? It is not a gruelling, prize-fighting game, nor is it one especially adapted for blacksmiths, stevedores or life-guardsmen. Nor is it particularly famous for shouldering, shoving, hauling, kneeing and mass-plays.

...Harvard players, Captain Hurley was unquestionably foremost in knowledge of the game, in speed and aggressiveness on the offense, in dash and reliability of his defensive play, and in the unconquerable spirit with which he led his team. He gained Harvard's only first down in the first half practically unaided, and made the most and longest gains in the second. His brilliant tackles were the most spectacular plays of the game and time after time stopped Yale's attacks on all parts of the Harvard line. Mills, too, played a brilliant game. His tackling in the open...
