Football Captain Warren Wylie's quiet note of confidence highlighted the final football writers' luncheon of the year at the Hotel Vendome yesterday.

Wylie--who had faith in the team all through the season--said that the Crimson was now definitely on the upswing, and should next year be respected as a good football team.

"It was an honor to lead the Harvard team this year," he said.

After the 42 to 6 loss to Cornell--during which Wylie sustained the broken arm which sidelined him all year--the team held a meeting. "We decided to do something about it," the red-head related. "And I think we did, because I think we could have won four out of our last five games."
