HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
"Harvard got the jump on us, and we couldn't come back," Captain Robert O'Connell, center on the Holy Cross football team, told a CRIMSON reporter after the game Saturday. "The Harvard line was fighting hard," O'Connell continued. "There were no really weak spots in the line; they all were breaking through."
When asked about the work of the backfield, O'Connell said that the Harvard running attack was good, and that the plays were deceptive. "We were up against a fighting team," O'Connell went on. "I couldn't say that Harvard was yellow, as some Purdue players said. If anything, the team over-fought, but that was because they were keyed-up and determined to come back. A week of fight talk did wonders for Harvard. We were dazzled at the start, and some of our men lost their heads, while Harvard kept on crashing through."
