...turned up and the aaptain and coaches had to go to work with the material at their command. It is incredible that there should be no heavy men in Ninety-five; and if Yale should prove stronger on Saturday, the freshman class will have to realize that its own lack of proper spirit and enthusiasm is to account for the result...
