...absurd then to imagine that the result can be foretold, and it is worse than absurd to encourage any general expectation that Harvard will have the game in her hands.

It also tends to produce a violent reaction against the method of coaching in case of defeat. Finally it gives outsiders and graduates an exaggerated idea of the team's ability, which calls down upon them perhaps unjust criticism if they...

The "Point of View" is a fairly interesting rather too cleverly written monologue about the prize fight. These, with two poeme and a sketch, complete the number...
