...leaves this afternoon for Springfield to play their last game for the season. The task which they have before them is no easy one. Yale is sure to put an excellent team in the field, and victory, if we win, will be hard earned. These facts, however, should only make us the more resolute; and that our team may feel encouraged we must make up our minds to continue in every way the hearty support which we have thus far given them.
