...thing the Freshman team needs, and so far has had to do without--support. Small attendance at early season games is understandable, when the University has been playing alongside. But on Saturday 1925 will hold the center of the stage in the Stadium. There should be no necessity to plead for a backing from the first year men. At the mass meeting tonight the start will be made.
