This afternoon Harvard University will have practically the last chance to show the 1910 football squad that it has been watching its successful progress from the Bates to the Dartmouth game with an ever-increasing interest. With the exception of the send-off tomorrow, when the squad leaves for Farmington, those of us who do not march to the Field today at half-past three, will have to confine our tribute of moral support to the short hour and a half on Yale Field Saturday afternoon.

At that time we enter a competition of enthusiasm in which we have in the past not always carried off the highest honors. Today we are alone. Let us all make the most of this opportunity to express our appreciation unmistake ably, not only to the players, but to the coaches and the many others who have worked with ceaseless energy since early in September to bring one Harvard team to the week of the Yale game with the splendid record Captain Withington's eleven has established.

But beyond this more evident and immediate reason for the presence of every undergraduate in the Stadium this afternoon, is the fact that the 1910 team marks the final justification and permanent establishment of a new government in Harvard football. The feeling among the members of the team, the discipline, the sane and systematic rule, and, best of all, the power of accomplishment, which Coach Haughton's third team has evidenced, ought to convince every undergraduate who cares the least mite for Harvard's football success, that a long-wished for change has finally arrived. No better way could be found to endorse this new regime than the display of an enthusiasm such as no class new in College has ever seen.

Such a demonstration will, therefore, accomplish two things. It will convince the team that behind it in the stands on Saturday there is to be a cheering section determined to defeat Yale. And it will pay no slight tribute to the policy that wins games and wins them fairly and squarely.
