On Saturday the eleven played its third and last championship game in Cambridge, and, taking into consideration the drenching rain, the slippery ground, and the fact that only half-hours were played, the team made a very creditable score. But the score was not the only thing. A great improvement was noticed both in individual playing and team work, over the work in the game with Princeton. And this fact should encourage us all to hope for a favorable issue of the game on Thanksgiving Day. The men have shown that, though the loss of their captain was severely felt, they could rise to the emergency, and every man has been playing with his whole heart and soul as well as with his mus cles and sinews. Great credit is due to each man on the team and if will and determination could win us the championship it would be ours without further trouble. But it must be remembered that Yale defeated Princeton on Saturday by the same score as that of the Harvard-Princeton game. And this was done under the same conditions of weather which surrounded us in our game with Pennsylvania. It will not do, therefore, for the eleven to be too confident of success. But on the other hand there seems to be no reason why we should not give Yale as hard a fight for the championship as she ever had before, even considering the crippled state of our team. But whatever way be the issue, we may all be sure that every man on the eleven will enter into this last championship game with the determination to do his best and to win if possible. Labor vincit omnia, is an old proverb and we do not think that Yale is so far advanced as not to be included in the omnia of this world. At least we will hope so on this occasion.
