...Harvard Eleven has made its appearance this fall, notwithstanding the anticlimax of last spring; and the indications are that it will be the best Eleven that Harvard has ever had. It was soundly beaten by the Walthams in the spring, but the events of the summer have shown that it was the closest game that any Massachusetts Club has played with...

'77, too, with a consideration which...
