...highly important that as many freshmen as can possibly do so, should accompany their eleven to Exeter tomorrow to encourage them by cheering. There is nothing which spurs on a foot-ball team to do its best more than the sight of a crowd of their own classmates.

It is impossible to account for this lack of interest in the sport unless it be in the fact that Jarvis Field is used more by the 'varsity and freshman teams than it was a year ago by the various class elevens. Still, Jarvis is free to any college elevens which may desire to test their muscle and staying powers from...
