...CRIMSON, among the first to oppose the new system when it was announced last spring, now gladly withdraws its objections in the light of last Saturday's performance. Save for a few offensive exhortations to "Talk it up!" or, still more odious, to "Pep it up!" which will, it is to be hoped, be omitted hereafter, the new order of cheer leaders seemed fully as dignified, and far more capable than the more casual leaders of the past...
...shells have all arrived in good condition and with daily practice and examinations, the schedule is becoming fixed.

But this can also be explained by the psychological effect made by the Tiger's first attack. It told Harvard that it was up against a strong Princeton team out to win and playing as it had never...
...best examples of college spirit which are in evidence today. Don't forget that Harvard is a college, a famous one and a big one, and the spirit shown by the team as well as by the supporters should exceed the spirit and pep shown by other colleges as Harvard scholarship exceeds others...
