...honorable position in the college world which is accorded to some athletic leaders. To strain to the utmost every muscle, to tax every mental resource, and to exercise all the manly qualities which are demanded in the athlete, these are surely worth while in themselves independent of victory or defeat.

For Harvard to be forced into the tail position after her past triumphs would be a comedown unpleasant to consider, and therefore the men selected in Friday's trial from whom the final team...
