...winning the toss and her choice of goals certainly told largely in her favor, but it was purely the result of luck. Harvard cannot and will not lay either Yale's victory or Harvard's defeat to the toss of a coin, no matter what its significance may seem to be. Her sportsmanlike spirit will assert itself here as elsewhere and give to Yale the credit of having won fairly and squarely and purely on her merits...
...allowed to interfere with a victorious career. To bring the matter down to tomorrow's game, if Yale manages to get ahead of Harvard, Harvard should only become more desperate. The crowd, too, should never think for a minute of losing its "sand," even if it should seem certain that we were beaten. Cheering should be hearty and frequent, no matter what happens. Our unity of spirit must carry us through to the end of the game if it is to serve us. It is a matter of individual determination and every man, be he player or spectator, must make...

Surely this mutual distrust and suspicion is unmanly and unsportsman like and entirely...
...confidence in the team, and we suggest that they impress this fact upon Captain Waters and his men by sending them off today with a series of rousing cheers. With the beginning of this month the time between us and the great contest takes a long jump and we seem very much nearer to it than we did on the last day of October. It is a question of weeks and days now, and no longer a question of months. Every sign of confidence and regard which the students can give the team now means so much more zeal...
