...cannot leave this subject without adding one word of the keenest regret. To have given three years of splendid service to Harvard with a fourth well under way as a captain in every sense of the word and then to be deprived of the very thing most desired is a bitter disappointment. No man has deserved more than Captain Burr the pleasure and thrill of leading a team to victory. His has been the spirit of that team from the very first game to the last.

They depended mainly upon the old line-plunging game, however, and the two teams were too evenly matched for consistent gains through the line. The game was remarkably clean throughout, and there were few penalties...
...mass meeting in Lower Massachusetts last evening, the Freshman class attended to the number of about 200, and showed splendid spirit and confidence in their team. A. G. Cable '09 led the cheering and introduced the speakers...
