happy can scarcely say anything. The
Harvard team today realized its two
great endeavors, the first to beat Yale
twice in succession, and the second to
beat Yale in the stadium. These two
feats have never before been accom-
Plished by any Harvard team.
The victory today is due almost en-
tirely to the great coaching of Percy
Haughton and the able assistants. They
had US ell keyed up for the great Oc-
caslon, and We simply had to win. Percy
Haughton seems to impart a spirit which
just carries US through in the critical
moments, although our team apparently
does not seem 10 show the dash and

Is there when necessary. | think our
team has shown this both against Prince
ton and Yale. We certainly are fortunate
that Coach Haughton is to be with us
again next year.
BoUst Yale Eleven.
In the joy of our victory let US no,
forget the great night made by the Yale
team. Capt ketcham and his men
fought to the bitter end, and never gave
UP for one minute. The spirit between
the two teams was nne. and there was
no sign OF uncIean playing on either SIDE
Capt. Retcham was penaIIzed once for
piling on after the whistle had blown.
but II was entirely. unintentionaI on his
part.
He is a great leader. there is no mis-
take about that
One incident which caused some con
fusion was. when. on, a Yale kick-On
which hit the posts, Frank O'Brien rar

called il safety. thus giving Yale two
points Not letting this slip bother him,
Frank went at II again. and showed the
stun he is made OF by putting up the
best game of his career. He played with

shall not attempt TO mention the play
CT any individual on either team. as do
not think a player in the game is quail
fed to do that. But I want TO say that
l am proud 10 nave played under such
captAin as Bob Storer and 10 have played
with such fine lot of fellows as were
those who made up our team today.
My success in drop kicking today was
due to the splendid passing OF both the
centers and to the fine protection afforded
me BY the ine and backs. j did not have
TO hurry my kicks aud had oceans Of
time to get the ball on my foot properly
A drop kick under such perfect conditions
is no more difficult than any oIner play
and any of the ether drop kickers could
have done the same thing Guernsey had
hard luck on the two tries he missed.
and should have had one az ieaSt with a
little more luck, which element after all.
counts a great deal in drop kicking.
Now. it is all over. we are Iooking
forward to next year. These Of us who
are in the 1915 class have, never yet been
in the losing game. and We hope TO GO
through next year with a clean slate.
But you never can tell IN rOorpaTi.
Once more / want to express nv ad-
miration at the fine game Yale played
and hope that our relations will always
be as good as they are now.
