Persecution for the expression of opinions seems to me perfectly logical.

...first real test of the season came on October 11 in a game with the heavy Worcester Academy team, where the Freshmen showed their power and aggressiveness in a 27-10 victory. Toward the end of the game, with the entrance of many substitutes, the yearlings' attack gradually weakened, allowing Worcester to score twice.

Churchill starred for the Crimson team and gave an indication of what might be expected of him later...

...experienced and more powerful University team had little trouble in smashing through the Colby line to a 35-0 score on October 11. Colby fought hard, but could make no headway against the Crimson men. The most notable part of the contest from the Harvard view-point was the successful completion of all of the five attempted forward passes. The University players showed more ability and power in opening holes in the line, but exhibited poor interference in the open field. No brilliant plays were made although Casey, F. C. Church '20, R. S. Humphrey '21, and A. D. Hamilton...
