By the loss of the Yale game Harvard takes third place in the championship series. Though the season has not been as successful as we hoped and expected it would be, yet there is much in the record of the eleven of which we may justly be proud. In practice the men have trained hard and faithfully, and in the great games they have made every exertion to win. A closer or better contested game than that of Saturday could hardly be imagined. In so slight a defeat there is no disgrace. It can safely be said that no Harvard eleven has ever played better football than was played by the Harvard team last Saturday.

For Captain Cumnock there is nothing but praise. His earnestness and enthusiasm have raised the game of football to a much higher place than it has ever held here before, and he has fully deserved the loyal support which the university has given him. He has well prepared the way for a victorious team next year.
