Fred DAILY, of the Yale football
team, is in receipt of a courteous
letter from Capt. Lathrop wIthing-

bah which was used in the Yale
Harvard game on November 70.
The letter states that Captain
Wilmington regards the victory as
morally belonging to Yale and that,
while Harvard had one of the best
teams, if not the very best team
in her history, and met a Yale team
which had been defeated twice and
tied once, still Harvard was unable
to break down the wonderful Yale
defense.
Captain Wilmington expressed
the highest admiration for the Yale
team, its wonderful spirit s1d play
