To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Yesterday's editorial upon the "defeat of the relay team" was well warranted, and in no way exaggerated in its accusations against the inexplainable lack of judgement on the part of the track team management, which folly was directly responsible for the defeat of Harvard's relay team Saturday night.

However, in spite of that one deplorable blunder, it must be remembered that the track team has always been one of the most successful branches of athletics at Harvard, and that there are few if any coaches that Harvard has ever had who in any branch of sport have turned out as many teams victorious against Yale as has Coach Lathrop.

While not wishing in any way to defend the unfortunate lack of judgment in question, I do want to appeal to the student body to take a fair view of the track team management as a whole,-to consider the wonderful development of new material that has rewarded the efforts of Captain Dodge, Coach Lathrop and Coach Quinn, during this winter, and to point out how much has been already accomplished towards winning the nine-year cup from Yale this spring.
