Today Harvard enters on the last period of active preparation for the game and now if ever it becomes important that the spirit of enthusiasm and determination which we have said so much about of late be given a rousing welcome and be built into our daily life as a principle of action. It is not enough now to feel that Harvard has a chance of winning; such a feeling is in its nature insecure and half-hearted. Each man in the University should make up his mind that Harvard must win and that he as a student has a part to play in the winning and that that part is to keep out of his own mind and out of his own words everything that savors of doubt and lack of interest. Individual opinion and conjecture should sink out of sight below a great wave of hope and determination. Each one of us should see before him the picture of the game, the final struggle of the men who have faithfully served us this fall and every spark of manly feeling that exists here should be fanned to a ruddy glow by enthusiasm and loyalty, Not till we thus live and act can Captain Waters and his men look with a feeling of absolute confidence on the crowd of students who will line the Harvard side of Hampden Park. Nor is it enough that we think and feel this way. The faces, and this applies especially to the players and coaches, should show how the minds and hearts feel. The only way the students can tell what is being done on Soldiers Field is by the looks of the men who practice there; the rest of the students will be influenced by the smiles of these men and as much by their scowls. Let the whole atmosphere of the place be bright and cheerful for the rest of the week and when Friday comes we shall send the team off to Springfield with a cheer such as has not been heard here in years, a cheer which shall go a long way toward victory.
