...line-up which has been announced for the University team. The substitutes will start and in all probability will play the entire game. It has been the intention of the coaches to use this match to bring the substitutes up to the scratch; and, in fact, Coach Haughton told the squad early in October that the substitute eleven would be played against Carlisle. The practice of the last week has, therefore, been devoted to finishing off the playing of the second string men. In yesterday's practice the time was spent in a signal drill to brush up the formations...
...Coach Haughton began yesterday to build up the weakened University football team in preparation for the final games against Carlisle, Dartmouth and Yale. The positions left vacant by Gardiner and Potter will be hard to fill, and have made necessary several radical changes in the line-up of the regular team. The most important change is the shifting of Captain fisher to the position of right tackle, where he has not played before, and putting in his place at guard his substitute, Keays. Whether this change will be permanent remains to be seen, but at present it seems...

Regular practice will begin again today, though the men who were injured in Saturday's game will not play for some time, Potter being out probably until the Yale game...

We realize that this is only the second game Haughton has lost in three and a half seasons, a record probably without parallel in Harvard athletics. We believe that Haughton and the team learned several valuable lessons at Princeton which will be utilized to the utmost...
Whether the undergraduates as one unified enthusiastic whole will "come back" as we know Haughton will, is an other matter. They may still have a blind sort of faith in the coaches but unless it is expressed, why continue to support a team? The coming three weeks is just exactly the time when moral support is going to be decisive. Harvard undergraduates as well as Harvard teams have not been famous in the past for the irresistible drive of their enthusiasm when vanquished. Here is the best sort of time in dispell quickly the ever prevalent gloom after defeat...
