Perhaps the most striking thing, though not the hardest to account for, in our college life this fall is the unity of opinion which has existed here since college opened. Seldom, if ever, has there been less fault-finding and less criticism of the team, than has been heard here in the last two months. On all sides there is that quiet determination to win, which goes so far toward winning. And it is easily accounted for. To a remarkable degree the students have been content with the vaguest reports on the secret practice and have left its results to show themselves in victory over Yale. This unity is very gratifying and will not fail to have its effect. There is always one danger, however, in connection with such a feeling. An eleven, feeling itself backed up so unanimously by public sentiment, is apt to start in with a great play of some kind and then, when its opponents, urged on to desperation, retaliate with something equally good, to lose the force and determination of its first effort. This is very natural, but it should not be allowed to interfere with a victorious career. To bring the matter down to tomorrow's game, if Yale manages to get ahead of Harvard, Harvard should only become more desperate. The crowd, too, should never think for a minute of losing its "sand," even if it should seem certain that we were beaten. Cheering should be hearty and frequent, no matter what happens. Our unity of spirit must carry us through to the end of the game if it is to serve us. It is a matter of individual determination and every man, be he player or spectator, must make up his mind never to falter for an instant-this, and this only, can win the game for us.
