Nevertheless, a decrease in the interest of the members will mean that the society cannot maintain such a position. Without the support of a large membership an attempt to manage another successful meet at Squantum would be evidently out of the question.

Last Saturday it gave an excellent exhibition of what it could do under these trying circumstances, and after the hard training of the past week, the team may startle somebody this afternoon.
