No more pleasing development in Harvard Athletics has revealed itself within many months than the announced plan for class teams. Of course there have been class teams before. But never have they been so much a part of a real organization as now. Under good coaches each class will have an opportunity to place on the field a team sufficiently developed to make the rivalry necessary for sound competition, something hitherto lacking.

But more effective than all is the design of sending the best class team against a Yale team. Thus class football is given a prominence and character worthy its name. Class crews have always furnished many men with good amusement and exercise. No reason exists why class football should not do the same. It is merely a question of method. And the method this year is, at least on paper, the right kind.
