...year to produce a winning team. In the first place the old Mott Haven cup, which has been won by Harvard eight times out of fourteen, comes to her for good, and is replaced by a new one. It will be difficult for Harvard to show as good a record in the years to come as in those just past, and for this reason it is urgent that the names of her team should be the first inscribed upon the new cup. Furthermore our failure to win in football puts an added responsibility upon the Mott Haven team...
...brief summary of the games of the '92 freshman eleven is another new departure. The score of each game the '92 eleven played last year is given, together with the make up of the Harvard and Yale freshman teams. There is also a record of the Harvard-Yale freshman games since 1876, according to which Harvard has won the championship five times, Yale three times, draw twice, and no game three times...
...losing two and tying two. The team was defeated by the St. Marks School eleven, and by the Harvard second eleven.

...pleasing contrast to the poor success of our university teams in recent years stands the record of victories won by the freshman teams.

The game was played under discouraging circumstances,-on strange grounds and before spectators whose sympathies were almost entirely with the opposing team, and the credit of the victory is, therefore, all the greater. For in spite of the disheartening support received from the class, the freshman eleven played a steady game, not so good a game...
...cool. I have already said that such a course seems much the wiser. Although there may be unfairness to Princeton still the instinct of self-preservation is paramount. Now, after all, is Princeton entitled to so very much consideration? It is, of course, most unfortunate, that Harvard's record in the past is not free from spots. Every Harvard man, however, believes that it is purer than that of any other college. And now that Harvard is striving for absolute purity, it is certainly no argument that she has not lived up to the standard which...
