And, when they realize that they have the entire confidence of the University in their power to win this afternoon, we believe that they will rise to the occasion again and defeat Yale.
As for the Harvard spectators, and particularly the undergraduates, we urge them to go to the game with the firm intention of helping the team to win,- in other words, to cheer them on, especially if they happen to be behind. Experience shows that strong, organized cheering has, without "rattling" the opposing team in the least, helped immeasurably to win games, and this is what is needed this afternoon.
