...these games it is true we were so far ahead and in another so far behind that this failure to kick goals did little more than alter the relative size of the score. But in two of these games the Harvard lead was so small that a goal from the field would have sufficed to turn the tables; in two it practically took away all chance of tying the score; in the Pennsylvania game of last year it made us lose the pluckiest game I have ever seen on a football field. It is true that in the last game...

The spirit shown here last spring strengthened our nine materially, and the crew worked the harder when they saw that every member of the University was behind them. The more enthusiasm we have at Harvard, and the more we cheer, the more often our teams will win. It is the only way members of the University have of showing that they are backing Harvard in athletics, and every one should take advantage...
