...Harvard eleven have had to work, our men made a good showing and deserve a great deal of credit. The cause of our defeat is very plain. The training required to make a winning team is long and arduous, and men will not go through it unless they are sure that their efforts will bring recognition. The men have worked hard and faithfully but without that entnusiasm which is necessary for victory. To this lack of support the defeat of Saturday may be directly traced, and, until this support is given, it is hopeless to expect Harvard to regain...
From an article printed in today's issue it will be seen that the Exeter nine acknowledges a satisfactory explanation from the '91 team, but insist that the 'Varsity and second nines have treated them indifferently. We are sure that the 'varsity have not done anything that can not be satisfactorily explained and that the trouble originated entirely from a misunderstanding.

Other promising candidates for the quarter are Bachelder, '91, Wright, '91, and Rhoades, '92. Stead, '91, and Davenport, '90, are looked upon as sure winners for the half-mile and the mile run respectively. Mandel, '89, and Bell, '90 are very good men for the hurdles, the former having won one of these events last year. For the mile walk, Howe, '91, and Bates, '92, are the only men now in training, but Wright...
