SATURDAY'S GAME

An early-season defeat will never cause us to lose hope of victories in the future; in fact a defeat such as the football team sustained on Saturday will undoubtedly prove to be a great factor in victories to come, for it dispells the feeling of over-confidence that is bound to follow a season as glorious as last year's, and it brings us to the realization that a defeat is quite possible--even to a Harvard eleven.

The players never go onto the field without the feeling that they will have to give every bit in them to insure victory, and no student should go into the Stadium without the feeling that he will have to do everything in his power to aid in that victory.

Material and coaches we have, and when we back our teams with a determination to help them in every possible way, instead of a spirit of over-confidence and indifference, we may have good grounds to hope that we will come through a very difficult season with the best of possible results.
