Even in the midst of the celebration of its greatest victory over its historic rival, the University must turn to face a serious situation. In the spring of 1913 Haughton signed a three-year contract to coach the football team; and with Saturday's contest this contract expired. Haughton's success in the University is the most remarkable story in football history. With an extraordinary combination of foresight, originality, and football knowledge, he has built up from raw material a series of successful teams; and the term "Haughton system" sums up this record in the minds of all who have ever heard of football. During his eight years as head coach, the University has defeated Yale five times, losing only one game and tying two. Yale has not won since 1909, and during Haughton's regime has never crossed the University's goalline, while Harvard has scored 116 points to Yale's 13 in this period.

The men who have played under Haughton, all present and past undergraduates, have the highest personal respect and football admiration for him. All are convinced that no man can fill his place. The big problem of Harvard football is.--Can Haughton be prevailed upon to continue as coach for the University?
