...upon the freshman eleven. The News is mistaken. We will do nothing of the sort. The playing of the freshmen during the last week has been such as to breathe new courage into any one who might have believed that they were past redemption.

W.EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.: - From all the injustices which fill our lives both in the outside world and in college you may be surprised that I should select such a trifling one for mention as the following may appear to be.
