To the Editors of the Crimson:

As the Yale game approaches, one cannot help observing among the undergraduates a feeling of assurance as to the outcome of the game. There seems to be a lack of appreciation of the severity of the coming contest, which tends almost towards over-confidence. If this dangerous spirit is allowed to develop in the University, it is almost sure to extend itself to the members of the team. Two facts the undergraduates seem to forget. In the first place, against the teams played by both Universities, Yale has in every case, except against the Indians, made a larger score than Harvard. Secondly, in the last game with Princeton. Yale showed herself capable of playing a high class game. The undergraduates should remember that overconfidence never wins a game, but rather the realization of the strength of the opposing team and due respect for its capabilities. This latter spirit prevailing among the undergraduates is bound to be reflected in the members of the team, and will make them enter the game more fully aware of the hard fight they must make.
