...remarks on the work of the eleven, praising in high terms the pluck and skill of the team but especially of the untiring efforts of their captain. Mr. Cumnock responded in a brief expression of thanks for the support he had received in his work and looked forward to success next year. Mr. Rand then introduced the Hon. William E. Russell '77. Mr. Russell expressed his pleasure at having an opportunity to be present at a social gathering of Harvard students who have not lost the old spirit of frankness and of joviality. Mr. Russell's remarks upon the eleven...

Captain Cumnock and his men were honored for their manly struggle and signal fair play throughout the season...
