...victory over the Virginia Polytechnic eleven by the score of 19 to 0 was also a disappointing game. As in the Lehigh game, the interference was weak. The Virginia team was weak, and if the Yale eleven had been playing as it did in the first two games, the score would have been much larger...
...past it has been whispered that misfortune early in the game has left the Harvard stands weak and silent, and robbed the team of its power. This must not be the case on Saturday. We must show an indomitable spirit, the spirit that can turn a possible defeat into a victory. The man whose knocking knees are heard above his weak and faltering cheers has no place in the Harvard stands, and is unworthy of a Harvard victory.

For Tufts outplayed the University not only on the offence but also on the defence, and the Medford team won a 7 to 3 victory...
