...Saturday. The fact that his eleven has been built up around him gave such a statement unusual bearing on today's game. Yet we not only venture, we are positive, that Captain Howe will appear on Soldiers Field today and play the best game of his career. We have heard that the Yale team is not an all-star eleven, but is made up of fair men with only fair ability. Hitherto, this may have been true, but it will no longer be the case after 2 o'clock...
While the eye was pleased and the fancy charmed with all this, the ear heard many words and perhaps missed more. Those that it heard most readily were the speeches of Miss Adams as Chantecler and of Miss Victor as the Golden Pheasant, both speaking in a curiously labored and mannered diction. Others of the birds and animals were occasionally comprehensible; and the Blackbird, through the mouth of Mr. Leuers and the Dog through that of Mr. Trader, actually gave character and tang to their speeches.

But we have heard and we believe that our team is made of fighters, and real fighters are not at their best unless the odds are against them. There will be not a few Harvard supporters on the Princeton field to cheer the team. But whether there or here in Cambridge, each member of the University has the hope of a successful outcome of today's contest uppermost in his mind...
After the game we felt nearly as confident as we heard that Brown felt before it. Saturday it was our turn to see the opponents' hopes dashed to the ground. Perhaps their weakness lay in the fact that their entire team was built up around one man, and when he was checked his team was dead. Perhaps our brilliancy was due to the very success that came our way. In the past it has been when we have had bad luck or temporary set backs that the bottom has dropped out of our team. Now particularly, is the time...
