...discussion in reference to Harvard's action in withdrawing from the football league has subsided much sooner than we at first supposed it would. Occasionally however, a question arises which brings the matter into prominence again. Of late, for example, we have heard some men ask, "But what will happen to Harvard if Yale does not favor a dual league? Will she not be entirely cut off from football contest?"

Every Harvard man should do all in his power to prevent the occurance of what would be the crowing stroke of calamity to our athletic interests. The 'varsity nine has shown at various and intermittent times that...
...year they will play in the midst of friends, anxious to see them win. The contest this year is a critical point in the existence of lacrosse at Harvard. If we win, the success of the game is insured but if we lose, which we sincerely hope will not happen next year's team will labor under great disadvantages and it will be only with the greatest efforts that the game will hold its place among our sports. Let all go and cheer the men to do their best, remembering that a victory means not only honor for the team...
