...broke through continually and blocked off like veterans, and it was only when their strength gave out in the unequal contest that Yale's wedges and push-plays began to be effective. A pluckier and more determined fight against odds than that made by Worden, Russell, and Mannahan is seldom seen, and it is worth noticing that Harvard made as many gains by bucking directly through the centre as Yale...
...always in the play to help the runner along. He showed the best of judgment in running his team, and kept his head perfectly throughout the game. In the defense his tackling was the best on the field. It was always low, clean and hard, and it was very seldom that he did not throw his man backward. But it was as captain of his eleven that he did his best work. He kept his men up to their work and he imparted to them his own coolness and determination, in a way that a more experienced leader might well...

The quickness with which the ball was put in play was also a pretty feature of their excellent team play, while Laurie Bliss's brilliant individual work has seldom, if ever, been equalled on a football field. His running was phenomenal, while the way he crept out of the very bottom of a wedge was a mystery to every one. Later when Harvard was weakened by the loss of both Emmons and Upton, he was quick to seize his opportunity...
...entirely a calamity. On the contrary the character of the play and what it indicates for the future is most encouraging. We have been defeated it is true, but we have been defeated in a game so magnificently and so nobly fought that defeat can bring no shame. Seldom has Harvard been represented so handsomely on the football field; and when we realize, moreover what the eleven has done the last few weeks, and compare its work in former games with that of Saturday, we must all feel an admiration for men who can work with such earnestness and determination...
...that those who have watched and worked with the eleven have seen this improvement and that it gives a very different aspect to our prospects. We cannot foretell victory or defeat; but we can say that a better eleven, in its individual and in its team work, has seldom before represented Harvard at a Yale game; and we can with reason expect a satisfactory result tomorrow...
