Never has there been a more critical moment in Harvard's athletic career than will be marked by the game tomorrow afternoon. Since Coach Haughton took charge of the team the series with Yale has resulted in a victory, a defeat, and two tie games. A victory tomorrow will prove to all that the rejuvenation of football at Harvard is a permanent matter and not a mere flash in the pan.

Harvard goes to New Haven this year filled with a spirit of confidence but not of over-confidence. The confidence that Harvard men feel is not that which turns to panic at the first hint of reverse, but the real confidence that maintains itself at the same even strength through good and ill--confidence in the quality of our team and in its determination to exert itself to the utmost in its last great contest of the season.

The game will witness a hard struggle between two elevens of tried ability. It will be a contest of more than usual interest because of the somewhat different styles of play which have been developed by the two teams. Yale has been favored throughout the season with an abundance of good material. A line of great strength and power has been built up, and the backfield is somewhat better than the average. Harvard, on the other hand, has an unusually brilliant backfield, is very strong in the kicking game, and has a comparatively light, though fast and aggressive forward line. Our team will depend on speed, aggressiveness, team-play, and good generalship to overcome the greater weight and natural strength of the Yale eleven.

The University team has already demonstrated its worth against strong opponents. It has shown that it knows how to play good football, but better than this it has shown an indomitable courage which changes defeat into victory. We are confident that the same fighting qualities will be seen tomorrow; win or lose, we are proud of the team which possesses them.
