...team in any respect a failure. No team that plays always with every bit of its strength and to the best of its knowledge can be called a failure whether it wins or loses. We are proud of the Harvard team for the victories that it won during the season, and of its hard struggle in a losing game...
...Coach Haughton and to his assistants, who have made unselfish sacrifice of time and effort throughout the season for the benefit of the squad, the thanks of all Harvard men are due. The loss of the final game was due to lack of the proper material to pick from, rather than to any failure of the coaches to make the most of what they had.

The final mid-week game against Holy Cross was disappointing, owing...

Howe, the final choice for quarterback, has shown good judgment in his choice of plays all through the season. His playing, however, has been marred by fumbling and inability to handle the ball accurately on punts. The Yale backfield is undoubtedly one of the best in the country. The men are all fast and powerful runners, hit the line with terrific force, and, when once started are hard...
