THE NEXT BEST MAN

The surprising performance by Harvard in the Triangular Meet proves that we have the basis for a winning team. Four first places in such a fast field are evidence of "Intercollegiate" material. Second and third place men are what is needed to fill the gaps in the Harvard score.

The man who wins the race is usually born with natural ability. The runner up can be developed,--and his points weigh heavily in the final decision. The Crimson showing on Saturday is the result of the new spirit Coach Bingham has given the team. Harvard, "poor down-trodden Harvard," as a Boston newspaper said, "smashed every forecast by its fighting." Development of the "next best" man, which can be brought about by persistent training, will give us victory instead of 'glorious defeats."
