Winners Once Again

Saturday’s football win confirmed Harvard is better than Yale in simply every way

In the long shadow and frigid wind of Soldiers Field, a squad of brown-haired quadrupeds ran down the field hopping, slobbering and snorting. But the Yale cheerleaders weren’t the only furry animals scampering across the stadium; the mounted state troopers patrolled Soldiers Field after Harvard’s victory over the Eli menace, riding tall over the crowds of Harvard enthusiasts rushing the field to greet the vanquished Yalies. Last week, the Crimson Staff listed some of the ways in which Harvard beats Yale every day. This week, we have compiled a new list showing how fair Harvard, on its own turf, demonstrated its superiority over our visitors from that block of concrete called New Haven.

Halftime:

Harvard: Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis ’68 and a chainsaw go after handsome Dan.

Yale: Demonstrated what most of us already knew: the Yale spirit is best personified by a giant trash bag.
