...beginning of the season the outlook promised anything but victory today; yet, the splendid showing against Dartmouth and the steady improvement during the past week now leads us to look forward confidently to a Harvard victory. Last year we lost to Yale; the year before we won by the smallest of margins; and now the meets stand ten apiece. It is almost needless to say that the team realizes this situation. We think that very little urging will bring out a large and far more enthusiastic backing than cheered the team to victory last Saturday. We are not overconfident...

...noticeable that in accordance with the general policy being pursued at Harvard, the minor teams have cost more. The attendance at the football games in the fall of 1911 was very large and should make up the loss of the year preceding. The receipts of the year were the smallest for some years.

...Although the material this fall is better than a year ago, this alone cannot account for so radical a reversion of the scores. In the race at New Haven last year, six Yale runners finished before the first Harvard man, giving to the home team a victory with the smallest possible score. In the race yesterday, four runners of the University team finished among the first six, and the sixth Yale man arrived in eleventh place. Almost the same striking contrast appears between the races with Technology this year and last. A week ago the University team...

...money is being collected under the direction of the Hannah Winthrop chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and on the Advisory Committee appear the names of President Eliot and a number of other prominent Harvard graduates. Big contributions are not expected; the smallest subscription will be gratefully received. Subscription blanks may be signed at the Co-operative Society, Amee's, Kent's, and at the Cambridge Savings Bank...
