The Harvard eleven needed a victory Saturday. The psychological effect of a decisive triumph would have been tremendous. That triumph was not forthcoming. Individually the players gave their best, and in certain departments the improvement was striking. Nevertheless the team lost.
There are no excuses to offer. Brown's victory was clear cut and decisive. That page in the record is closed. There remains but one more entry in this season's gridiron account book. A victory over Yale, according to the conventional University view, will make any season successful. Another defeat will imprint the autumn of 1924 indelibly as the most disastrous in Harvard football annals.
The time for censure is past. The issue is squarely up to the coaches and the team. Upon them alone hangs the decision between unprecedented failure and extraordinary achievement.
