The following editorial appeared in the Yale Courant of April 21:

"Throughout the college an idea is prevalent that Yale's victories in athletics this spring are but a matter of course. The basis for such an opinion is the fact that her athletic interests are in the hands of veterans. But, we ask, is it an established truth that veteran teams inevitably meet with success? Advocating this idea can but result in inspiring our teams with a feeling of over-confidence which, we know, is always and forever to be avoided. Let the fact that we are tied with Harvard, our valiant adversary, in the number of victories upon land and water incite our men to even greater efforts so that, when the last game at the field has been played and the course at New London finished, the brow of St. Elihu may once again be graced with the laurel crown."
