They have fallen into the delusion that they are practicing each day for their own amusement and do not seem to realize that they are to turn out a team that must meet the Yale freshmen. Because the error is a common one, it is not the less blamable It is for the freshmen to decide at once whether they will begin to make an earnest effort to win the coming contest by hard practice each day, or whether they will indulge in a halfhour of playfulness, such...
