The following statement was made to the Crimson after Saturday's game by Head Coach Jesse Hawley of the Dartmouth eleven:

"Today's game was typical of all Dartmouth Harvard games. It was hard-fought but cleancut, and excellent sports, manship was displayed by the rival elevens.

"Our two weeks" advantage in training gave us a considerable edge over the Harvard players. This year the lack of sufficient time for preparation hurt Harvard particularly, for her whole system of play is new, and it takes considerable time to perfect an entirely new offensive machine. Except at rare intervals, the Crimson players did not work together with the precision that is necessary in shake loose their backs. Harvard's new offense, I believe to be potentially dangerous, and with more time to perfect coordination, I think the Harvard team will cause trouble to any defensive machine.

"We had to fight for every yard that we made, and while the score shows our superiority on the offense, it does by no means show a moral let-down among the Harvard players. I have never, seen a beaten team fight more courageously than Harvard did today.

"Of the Harvard men, I think most highly of young Crosby, the young Sophomore back. He's a crackerjack right now, and should go far before his football days are over. In Sayles, you have an end that shows great promise. He was in the game every minute, and I don't remember seeing him put out of any play entirely. His work in going down under punts was especially good, and he will bear watching by Harvard's remaining opponents."
