The Harvard nine has retrieved its good name, and wiped out, with an overwhelming victory, the defeat that it suffered a year ago from the hands of its opponents of Saturday. To recall the past may seem undesirable, but Harvard men can never forget the demonstrations of joy and the enthusiasm which was displayed a year ago, in the New York theatres and elsewhere, over the "whitewashing" given the Harvard champions on their own grounds, and, therefore, we cannot deem it unmannerly to hint that the account is now square, and to declare that Harvard is able to compete once more on an equal footing with her New York opponents.

Continued labor and devotion to the work in hand may accomplish the desired result. The nine should receive an enthusiastic reception in the game with Marlboro this afternoon.
