...with Heyniger apparently not exerting himself, the team has taken a decided brace. Although defeated by Dartmouth, it demonstrated that it could hit the ball hard, both in that game and in the Andover game Wednesday, when thirteen hits were secured. The team also showed far more life and spirit than had been seen since the Annapolis game. Having new men in the infield seems to have livened matters up considerably...

...defeats in football and track, and a single victory in hockey, put 1911 teams on a plane where they are above the necessity of support? Most certainly not. Wake up, Freshmen!

We have pledged ourselves not to be carried away by athletic diversions to the injury of our studies, and we have organized ourselves through an undergraduate committee for the attainment of this object. Until the committee announces its plans, we can do no more that abide by the spirit of the petition. A word to the wise is sufficient...

...which can call out the best players in the University to represent it, should be kept and encouraged, that Harvard may send out men better equipped for life in every way. Applause and enthusiasm are always good things, but what we want are men who have the strength, spirit and energy to win without them. We do not want to praise the losers, they have our sympathy. Victory is the only thing that deserves praise, and Harvard needs victories...
