Within the silent sanctity of the Union the Harvard team will sit, doughty warriors of many a bygone contest, pondering deep in thought, while the cheering thousands hang breathless on their move. The decision will be made amid tumultuous joy, the eager operators will flash the word to No Man's Land; while on roofs, in trees, on catboats, in the highest mountain tops and to the far corners of the cornerless earth, uncounted receivers will take up the word, and follow the victorious play...
