A PRELIMINARY VICTORY.

Perhaps it is not an altogether just feeling which pronounces the success or failure of a Harvard athletic season arbitrarily according to the result of the Yale race, game, or meet. But such is undoubtedly the case. Therefore, we must wait until next week before offering unreserved congratulations to the 1912 track team. We can, however, say that the team won a glorious and hard-fought triumph over Dartmouth on Saturday. May the confidence born of that victory, and the now unmistakable feeling that the College is behind the team, combine for form that do-or-die spirit indispensable to a Harvard victory over Yale.
