In its sixth season under head coach Percy Haughton, the Crimson compiled a perfect 9–0 record, shut out five of nine opponents, and outscored all opponents by a total of 225 to 21.

Davis. Four Harvard players were consensus first-team selections on the 1913 All-American football team: halfback Eddie Mahan, fullback Charles Brickley, guard Stan Pennock, and tackle Harvey Rexford Hitchcock Jr. Other notable players included e ...

Harvard–Princeton Football Rivalry
The Harvard–Princeton football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Harvard Crimson football team of Harvard University and the Princeton Tigers football team of Princeton University.

Newspapers
A newspaper is a periodical publication containing written information about current events and is often typed in black ink with a white or gray background. Newspapers can cover a wide variety of fields such as politics, business, sports and art, and often include materials such as opinion columns, weather forecasts, reviews of local services, obituaries, birth notices, crosswords, editorial cartoons, comic strips, and advice columns.
