...inspires two instructive conclusions. In the first place it sustains the general opinion that Harvard has definitely cased to be Yale's doormat. The new Harvard spirit seems to be nearly as invincible as the old Yale spirit was in years gone by. In all the important branches of sport Harvard is now winning with a regularity which is disheartening to the loyal supporters of the Blue. It is truely, largely a matter of spirit. In Yale's athletic heyday, her democracy was her most cherished asset. There is now in Harvard athletics a democracy even more democratic than that...
...under weight. But this is not a sufficient reason for so radical a change.

The material is good and there is plenty of it; that is, if all who are in any way capable of doing anything in the way of the game are on the ice today. We refrain from making the same old points about practice being necessary, enthusiasm on the part of the students being essential, etc. Undergraduates realize all these things. We should be very sad if they surprised us by failing to provide...
