...entries from the smaller colleges, who may win a large number of points. The University team relies on seven or eight excellent performers to win the majority of Harvard's points, while Yale and Cornell have more evenly balanced teams.

It is all very well to try to win and to try hard, and it is well for every member of the University to be normally enthusiastic for the team's success. But should...
