Just a year ago today, as the football world records, the 1916 Freshman foot- ball team won its victory over Yale, 18 to 17. And the only fitting way for 1917 to celebrate the anniversary of that famous game is for every man in the class to be at the Freshman game this after- noon. The story of last year's contest will not soon be forgotten here, for it was only an uphill fight against tremendous odds that gave Harvard the victory. In the first seven minutes of the game, Yale had scored 14 points; with only a minute left to play the Blue still led, 17 to 12. Then by a series of terrific line plunges Harvard went over for a touchdown which won the game. That game will be to 1916 what the Freshman baseball game with Yale has been to 1914. Seniors still remember the desperate ninth inning rally which converted seemingly sure defeat to a tie. The enthusiasm with which the men in the stands came to the support of their team was the real climax of class spirit that year. If 1917 will only turn out today to imitate that spirit we are confident of the result. The first Freshman contest of the year with Yale should be the be- ginning of a true class feeling which will last through graduation and beyond.
