We present, in another column, a very opportune communication in reference to the freshman nine. Hitherto, too little attention has been paid to the success of this nine in its contests with the Yale freshmen. As the writer of the article says, "defeat has been regarded as a foregone conclusion which it is useless to endeavor to frustrate." It does seem very strange that our freshmen should so often seemingly accede to the desires of the Yale nine and play the first game at New Haven. The advantage thus given is incalculable. Every one can recognize the benefit resulting to a nine, comparatively inexperienced, when they can meet their opponents on home ground surrounded by ardent supporters and fellow-collegians. We hope that the managers of the freshman nine will appreciate this fact and act accordingly. There is good material for an excellent nine, and we are sure that our contributor reiterates the sentiments of the whole college when he expresses an urgent desire to see the freshmen victorious.
