While we must feel very much disappointed at the result of the game we have one thing to say which gives us as much pleasure as it would if Harvard had won. We can thank the team for the faithfulness which has kept them up to their work through thick and thin, and the coaches for the assistance which they have given in developing the material. The line of defeats which Harvard has sustained has logically produced as much effect in one direction as the line of victories has for Yale in another. Against the discouraging influence of these defeats Harvard has worked away with a will and the only thing she has lost is the game; her self respect and the respect of the outside world she certainly has not lost. With the same feeling as if Harvard had won we heartily congratulate Captain Waters and his men on their pluck and on the manly way in which they strove at least to win. There is a sort of "triumph in a losing cause" and Harvard can at least feel this triumph, for her game, though losing, was fair and sportsmanlike. This defeat must have no effect on the Pennsylvania game. Students and team must unite again for this final effort and close, Harvard's record for this year with a victory.
