THREE of the Class Nines - Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen - are already hard at work, and the prospect for an exciting contest is indeed encouraging. '81 has taken hold of the project with a commendable enthusiasm, that was scarcely to be expected, considering the large number of men she has contributed to the 'Varsity and Class crews. That there should be twenty-three men in training for a Class Nine shows an interest in athletics and an amount of class feeling that is indeed surprising in these days of indifference. '82 and '83 are scarcely behind '81 in zeal, but '80, deterred, perhaps, by the struggle for a degree, is unable to produce more than four men who are even interested in a nine. This is to be deplored, as it would, of course, be far better and more interesting to have the winning nine the champions of the College, and not of the three lower classes.
