While the captain does his utmost he cannot of course seek every man in person, and yet you who have been inadvertently passed by are perhaps the very ones who by earnest work may bring victory to Harvard, Surely in a case of this kind all reticence and self-distrust should be forgotten for the general...

...power to prevent the occurance of what would be the crowing stroke of calamity to our athletic interests. The 'varsity nine has shown at various and intermittent times that it can play winning ball. The college can rest assured that the nine will do its utmost to defeat Yale on Saturday if it receives proper support. Every Harvard man should go to the game prepared to show Captain Willard that the college is backing him.
