...beat Yale--this, by the way, has not been done for several years. In order to turn out a winning team it is essential to have a large squad. For the past few days not even a full second team has reported for practice. Do you call this support? Come out, everyone who can, and help the team on. No team can win without support. We must have more backing, and backing can come largely from the players who come out and play on the second team. Everyone come out for the last two weeks. H. L. GADDIS, Captain...

Give the coaches the chance they desire, believe in the ability and the spirit of your own team, support it as often as possible by your presence on the field, and it is highly probable that your Freshman team will win victories for the class...
