...college annals and is a forecast of the revival of interest in Cambridge of this good old English game. We congratulate the men of the eleven on their success, feeling that perhaps it is to them that we will hereafter look with pride and satisfaction, for who can tell but that our ascendancy in athletics may not be regained through our possession of the champion Cricket team of the United States...
