Organized football as returned. After two years absence, when everything in the life of the University was completely changed, this king of college sports will be welcomed with open arms by undergraduates and graduates alike. Nothing welds the University into a unit like a good snappy foot season; nothing creates as favorable an impression of Harvard in the minds of an incoming class.
Interest in the sport is even more accentuated this fall by the desire of all to wish success to Coach Fisher and his corps of young assistants. In recent years Harvard football has been associated with the Haughton system, the combination of which meant a winning team. Even in 1916, when Mr. Haughton had little personal connection, the method of coaching was still given his name. But now everything is new. A different organization must be established. That means that every undergraduate must more than over do his share to help the team along. The old Harvard spirit, largely forgotten during the war years, must once again be seen around Soldiers Field. We are told the material is excellent, that the coaches are the best to be had. These two parts of the Harvard football machinery will do their job well. The other portion, the great unorganized mass of undergraduates, must do theirs.
