THE MATHEMATICS OF VICTORY

Favorable odds, plus a good team, minus support equals defeat.

Favorable odds, plus a good team, plus support equals victory.

This is the simple algebra of the game with Yale tonight. If the third term of the second equation, support for the team, is added, Harvard will win. But if the third term of the equation is subtracted our chances will be greatly diminished. This is the simple problem; there is no substituting of terms.

We have a good team, the odds are in our favor. We should give the team the strongest support we have yet given it, that victory may be assured. The Arena, eight-thirty, tonight!
