The advice given to '86 by a contributor to the last Crimson (let us be careful to specify "contributor") is, we think, very excellent. The two points in which Harvard teams have proven most deficient when compared with Yale's and Princeton's are those of reliable, united and co-ordinated play, and of the sureness that comes from constant and assiduous practice. Another great source of weakness for us lies in the lack of plentiful and well-trained material to draw from. As far as relates to rowing this fault has been remedied by the institution of class races and of permanent class crews. If follows as a legitimate conclusion from the Crimson's argument, we think, that the establishment of class nines should be undertaken, in order to furnish well-trained candidates for the 'Varsity nine, as well as for the equally important purpose of affording to a larger number of men a constant chance for sport.
