GEORGE F. SMITH, Editor. Capt. Leahy and members of the C. II. S. Football Team: Words seem inadequate in trying to express my great surprise and thankfulness for your wonderful token of appreciation for what little I did for the team. In this case 1 am sure the reward far surpasses the deed. The hours 1 spent with you were happy hours, as they brought back memories of my high school and college days, which are the happiest days of our lives. 1 want to thank the Faculty and the Team for the confidence they placed in me as a coach. It was an honor, 1 assure you. While 1 have played a lot of football in my day, this was the first experience as a coach, and I feel the success of the team was due more to the observation and natural ability of the players than to any good coaching. The most lamentable part of the whole situation to me, was the fact that after we had our machine working smoothly, we were denied the opportunity of proving its worth, which seems to be in keeping with our rival s run of good luck. I really believe that had we played .out, our schedule we would have brought the 1918 pennant to Conne-aut. I further believe that if the majority of this year's team returns next fall, we can make 1918 hopes, 1919 realities. My heart goes out to Page Twelve
