...University of Pennsylvania, in the Gymnasium on Saturday afternoon, by a score of 13 to 9. Throughout the game the University team was outclassed, and only for a short period in the second half showed any ability to rally. Both teams committed many fouls, but neither was able to profit by the opportunities for scoring thus offered. On the defensive the team did not come up to expectations.

Harvard has surely had enough experience to finally profit. She must have some settled head in football, she must select him carefully and with a view not to next year alone but to last at least two years thereafter; and she must take time to make this selection. There has been no head coach of Harvard football in the last ten years who if given...
