THE YALE GAME

Yale has come, high in the prospects of victory, and has gone, with hopes justified and fulfilled. Before a crowd which resembled more that of a minor contest than of a great intercollegiate game, her team has shown itself superior and has carried off a well-earned victory. Concerning what has passed, we do not begrudge Yale men their fortune. We have no excuse to make nor alibis to offer. A season which began favorably with a Princeton victory has taken an unfavorable turn. There is but one answer which our team can make. It will require a great deal of hard work and training. Wait until June first at New Haven, when Harvard fortunes will be redeemed.

Saturday's game marked the last contest in which several of the University players will appear. No future efforts will serve to offset what defeat has brought them. They have entered a larger service than athletic activity. As they go, Harvard honors them and their leader, who have contributed so much toward establishing war-time sport and who now no longer participate in that which they have so created.
