Writers Heap Praise On Harvard Team

Paeans were showered upon Harvard this afternoon by Eastern Sports scribes as a result of its impressive gridiron display against Yale. Some of the comments were as follows:

Harry Cross of the New York Herald Tribune: "The Charles River Power Company rushed into the Bowl and give a demonstration of high voltage football. Yale's defense was stubborn to the point of embarrassing, but the Elis couldn't keep the wires crossed forever. The Blue forwards tried to charge into the Crimson with the same gusto which upset the co-ordination and continuity of Carl Snavely's gridiron chef d'oeuvre, but they were met by an even more determined Harvard forward wall."

Mel Webb of the Boston Globe: "Outmanned, out-powered, the Blue battled every inch of the way. Harvard had to turn on its most efficient best to subdue the Pondmen."

Daniel Mulvey of the New Haven Register: "There's no such thing as moral victory in football, but if ever a team deserved credit in defeat it was Yale. The final score was wide enough by scoreboard measurement but far from the total the hard-driving Cantabs hoped to roll up."

Dave Egan of the Boston, Record: "Amateur is amateur, and never the twain shall meet. Intellectual dishonesty met on the gridiron and the result was a whopping victory for Harvard, Bill (Bleeding Heart) Bingham, and Master Tom Stephenson."

Joe Cashman of the Boston American: "If unsubsidized football players can turn in a game like that, I'll take my football amateur style, thank you. Harvard's iron men were almost unbeatable down on that field this afternoon."

Richard Vidmer of the New York Heraid Tribune: "No championship was hanging in the balance of this contest, both teams having been defeated more than once along the rocky road they have traveled. There were the usual fireworks, but Yale never had more than a long-shot chance to win, It was Harvard's game almost as soon as the opening kickoff was in mid-air."

Grantiand Rice of the New York Sun: "One of football's classics. Here is a game that goes a long way back and has known more color and action than most of the traditional games. Spreyer and Lea gave Harvard the victory."

Bill Cunningham of the Boston Post: "Perfection seemed to be written on the backs of the Harvard players, piercing the late afternoon murk like neon sign. The more homespun Elis never had a chance against the smooth, versatile Harlowmen."

Harold Kaese of the Boston Transcript: "Harvard lived up to the favorite's role this afternoon and gave a convincing display of power football. Yale went down fighting, but it was Harvard all the way.
