Starting at the beginning of the season with what seemed to be even poorer material than usual, Coach Haughton has developed a team, which, although it has progressed somewhat slowly, is now as good, if not the best team that Harvard has had in several years.

Mr. Haughton is wasting no time at present on "authoritative announcements" nor is he speculating as to future seasons.

Every member of the class who is interested in the team and the success of the class in athletics should be at the field...
