dbp:text
  • The years of football your bright records grace; Game called, you saw me always in my place; I taught your Harold, the famed Fennel Race; And glad I saw him down the dazed field skim; In his first years; and much I honor him; Bourne shoulder-high, until my eyes grow dim. (en)
  • It was not alone that he had such phenomenal speed, nor that he had the weight and muscular strength that told, but it was the combination of these with good judgment and the ability to put on speed at the right moment. Behind it all was a love for the feel of the ball under his arm and the rush by the end of the line which only those who have once enjoyed it can appreciate. (en)
  • Harold Weekes of Columbia was another backfield genius who stands near the top. I know of no other back in the history of the game who was able to put on a greater burst of speed at the instant of turning an end than Weekes. ... His end running was the one thing in which he relied upon his own superb speed and judgment of pace. In this he was practically beyond coaching, a law unto himself. (en)
  • Columbia men, all I can do is to thank you again and again. I shall treasure this cup more than anything I shall ever have. I hope always to be in Columbia athletics. Morley, I feel, will be back next year. He cannot stay away. As for myself, I hope to be back next Fall, playing on the scrub. I thank you. (en)
  • No Columbia man has ever had a word to say against Weekes. They cherish his deeds, they cherish the traditions that he gave birth to, and most of all they cherish him as a stanch, loyal son of the college for which he gave the best that was in him in victory and in defeat. (en)
