...united as one man to show our loyalty to the football team and to Harvard. This was no before-hand celebration of an assumed victory, or revelry of an over-confident mass. We know that, despite the rumors, Yale will come to Cambridge on Saturday with the same old spirit behind a team that will fight as hard and as effectively to the last minute of play, as ever a Yale team has done before. Harvard has picked the team that is to be its champion. It is the best that Harvard can produce. In its support we stand...
...Football Song Committee has selected the following new songs to be sung at the Yale game: "Onward to the Goal," words and music by F. R. Hancock '12; "Harvard Spirit," words by R. B.

What the Harvard team lacks in veteran material is made up for in the fighting spirit of the players. Upon this spirit the University team must depend to win the game. Opposed to a heavier, and, from past results, a more successful team, our chances for victory may appear slim. We can but await the outcome with the hope that a strong adversary will make our team play as it has not played before. Success in the contest should put us in a position to play Yale next Saturday on even terms. If we lose today, the result...
