The victory of Saturday has awakened the spirit of Harvard which has lain in a lethargic state so long. Instead of periodical grunts and growling about the eleven, words of hope and encouragement are now heard. Men no longer say that Yale will win simply because she is Yale, but declare that she must show superior strength and science to do so. This, as a sign of the times, is most encouraging. Disgruntled criticism has done much evil here in the past. It has been caused by defeats to a great extent, but it has reacted upon the players and has made them peevish at times, and so we have lost. The success which has come to us so far this season can continue until Yale is defeated on the water next June if the same perseverance and devotion which has characterized the foot-ball work is extended to the other branches of athlectics.
