No one can review the work of the eleven last Saturday and consider the improvement it has made in the short time of two weeks without realizing more emphatically that the eleven has won the admiration of us all and, moreover, that the occasion calls from us some proper and decided recognition of our gratitude to the eleven and its coachers. Now is the opportunity to show in such measure as we can the appreciation we have for our eleven. The team has done in a short interval and against great odds what few other elevens have done in the same-time; it has shown a quality of determination which characterizes the best examples of Harvard spirit and faithfulness and therefore it appeals strongly to our highest sense of gratitude. It seems to us that we ought to take an immediate and active step toward a testimonial, and that the best means is a complimentary dinner to the eleven and the coachers. We all remember how successful the dinner was two years ago, and it is no less deserved this year, for if ever an eleven deserved a testimonial from us this eleven does. Moreover a dinner of this kind does much to quicken our active interest in football; it gives an opportunity to all to consider and discuss our policy, and its best application in foot ball and its binds us all strongly together in the firm determination to stand even more staunchly by our eleven and encourage it to victory. Consequently we feel that at this present, when we recognize most deeply the esteem in which +++ hold Captain Trafford and his team that we should give them a dinner where we can attest our appreciation and admiration of the magnificent work of Saturday.
