Harvard has recovered. Such appears to be the universal opinion of football critics. And men who on November 5 said that Harvard could not defeat Yale, are beginning to think better of the remark. Two factors have led to a reconsideration: Yale was unable to run up as great a score on Princeton as was Harvard, and Harvard fairly defeated the team which plainly outclassed Princeton. Hence, Harvard stock, so to speak, rises accordingly, Yale declines, and all goes merrily--until next Saturday. Then the crash comes and we must wait for another chance, when we shall, of course, profit...

If Harvard succeeds in this particular the prospects for the following Saturday will...
