The freshman eleven, as reconstructed, has proved to be a strong team, and the game they played on Saturday was very creditable, resulting as it did in the first victory that a Harvard freshman team has won from Yale for ten years. A game like this destroys Yale's prestige, as being invincible by Harvard at foot-ball. We may now confidently assume that a new era has set in, and that next year's freshman team, aided as it will be by practice against what will be a more experienced and consequently a better University eleven, may follow the good example that ninety has set in regard to the Yale game. Harvard ought to improve on ninety in regard to the other games played during the year. We have accomplished this year what has been hitherto impossible, our freshman team has beaten Yale. The coming freshman team, we believe, will win the three important games of the year, Yale, Exeter and Andover, for there will no longer be an unbroken record of defeats against which to contend.
