...recent years have given glorious examples of the fact that Yale is not invincible, but we men of a more remote past would remind you that the sons of Yale are always first class fighting men. I earnestly beg, therefore, that no spirit of overconfidence be allowed to germinate at Cambridge, but rather that our team go down to New Haven with the expectation of meeting a foe worthy of their steel."

Such a direct and apparently intentional perversion of the statement that a Harvard victory over the Yale crew is not a fixture will warm every loyal Harvard man to several degrees beyond white...
