A SPLENDID VICTORY.

We extend our heartiest congratulations to the 1912 track team for the way in which it acquitted itself on Saturday. Although beginning the season with a discouraging lack of experienced men and suffering many setbacks because of bad weather, the squad finally developed into a very strong and well-balanced team. The wide margin of victory on Saturday was the result of determined and united effort, and stands as a splendid tribute to Captain Withington and to every member of his team. To the coaches, also, great credit is due, for this year's team is one developed from inexperienced material. In the meet on Saturday, the Juniors alone won 50 points (17 more than the total scored by Yale) and yet the 1913 Freshman team was decisively defeated at New Haven. This record speaks volumes for the Harvard coaches who share with the members of this year's team in one of the finest victories ever won by Harvard in track athletics.
