THE LAST WEEK

Overconfidence never yet won a victory, and it has lost more than one. Harvard men are going to point to comparative scores and decide next Saturday's game before the team reaches New Haven, unless they refuse to become over-confident. Of one thing they may be sure: Yale at New Haven is going to present a far different team from Yale at Princeton. Comparative scores do not admit the all-important element of psychology, especially the influence of playing on the home field. Never was the old lesson truer than now--forget comparative scores, don't be overconfident.

The last week means simply this: every Harvard man back of the team, every man, with a ticket to New Haven in his pocket, ready to contribute all he can to overcome the handicap of facing a fighting mad Yale team on its home field. The game is not won yet; it won't be won at all if Harvard supporters minimize the task that is ahead of the Crimson team.
