...worst thing of all about the men is that many of them want to shirk everything they can. Some of them are very irregular in coming out and cannot be depended on at all. On a run a few days ago five of the men tried to drop out. With such a spirit as this the freshmen cannot hope to have a strong crew. What is needed is enthusiasm and real interest, and if the men who are now working will not brace up the crew must look for all its strength to the football men. The men that...

If they retain their good resolutions and persist in their efforts through the preliminary work, the outlook for a good crew next spring will be excellent. If on the contrary, the men lose their earnestness and drop out because they do not find much fun in it, a gradual decadence of spirit will set in which will be a sure forerunner of defeat. There is much excellent material in the class, and every effort will be made to develope this material to the greatest possible degree. It rests...
