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.

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...
