Does that indicate that the men who have backed the team throughout the season are running to cover under the so-called "Harvard indifference," merely because we have two defeats behind us and a hard game ahead? Let us ignore technical perfection for a few days. No team ever won a real victory by that alone, and many "invincible" teams have learned that the right sort of a fight will disturb the most thoroughly perfected plans...

Every fellow who was on last year's squad will never forget that great show of spirit in the Stadium on the last day of practice last year, when about 800 men turned...
...ward pass to Fish on the 5-yard line. A tandem was thrown back for a loss, and Newhall tried a pass to Wendell on the 4-yard line. A left-tackle plunge failed to gain, and on the subsequent forward pass, Davis fell on the ball behind the line for the second touchback, when time was called...
