...this nucleus of old players has been built up a Harvard eleven which today stands stronger than last year's at the same date, and which conservative experts have declared to be the strongest eleven that has ever represented the University. The slump that came last year did not happen this year and the physical perfection of the players exists now as it did a year ago. The small teams and even the Indians have been powerless against the Harvard eleven. The weak points which are now apparent are minor ones which can not be factors in the result...

...utmost lucidity. The undergraduates are to contribute to the "austere and thoughtful academic influence" of the University by refusing to enlist until a call shall be received to which they can, without loss of dignity, respond. Meanwhile, the fighting shall be left to fellows whose fathers did not happen to send them to college, and who, if they happen to be shot or to die of yellow fever, will be no great loss to the republic. The Harvard men who have already gone are described as most unworthily "scrambling" to reach Cuba...

We have had the Tree...

...resources of the University are large; much larger, in fact, than those of most of its rivals. There is no lack of muscle and brains with which to win. The trouble is that they are not made use of; that particular branches of activity are left to those who happen to be engaged in them at the moment. In short, there is not enough care taken to use all possible material, and when there is no material to manufacture...

...Harvard spectators, and particularly the undergraduates, we urge them to go to the game with the firm intention of helping the team to win,- in other words, to cheer them on, especially if they happen to be behind. Experience shows that strong, organized cheering has, without "rattling" the opposing team in the least, helped immeasurably to win games, and this is what is needed this afternoon...
