...candidates for the baseball and athletic teams will be called out. But the responsibility of the men who expect to try for those teams does not begin with the period of active training. It is something which should never be lost sight of. It would be foolish indeed to ask of such men that they keep in training all the time, but it is not too much to demand that they keep in generally good condition...
This tendency to cry whipped beforehand must be stopped. If the College loses heart in advance, what can it ask of the team? There are certain strong grounds for encouragement. Never has a Harvard eleven been better captained, better coached or better trained, at least so far as we may judge at present.

A precedent, established this year, would in all probability be maintained by succeeding classes and thus the position of such a committee would be made secure...
