BULLDOG AND PAYNYM

"And they made great joy with suche a joyfull noyse that the paynyms without died to here it." The first half of the old bard's statement came true last night at the "record-breaker" mass meeting. To those who were in College a year ago it recalled, as Captain Buell said, the great meeting before the last Yale game.

No one, however, thought the mass meeting sufficient. The next day there was a parade to the field such as Boylston Street never saw; and the seething snake dance that returned after that last practice made the anxious shopkeepers look out of their doors and wonder if the Yale game had been advanced a day and won.

Now the situation is much the same. Harvard is once more called "the underdog" and the newspapers are heralding "another mighty Yale team". In spite of that Coach Fisher dared last night to give the motto for the week. That motto means only one thing: Confidence in the undergraduates as well as in the eleven.

The cheers at the Union mean nothing if they are not reenforced this afternoon at the field and again on Saturday. Twice the University is to pass a vote of confidence to its team. Will it be unanimous?
