In the expectation that our advice will be received in the spirit in which it is given, we wish to say a few plaim words to the freshmen. We feel confident that eighty-eight is represented by a strong base-ball nine, a nine which is capable of bringing to Harvard the championship which has been kept at Yale time out of mind. But we feel just as confident that unless the nine is upon the qui vive during every minute of the game, and unless it is supported by the presence and cheers of the whole freshman class, the all important game of Saturday will not be won for Harvard. Sharp, steady playing in every inning is all that can win the game. The games against eighty-six and Andover have proved pretty conclusively that no game is won until the last inning has been played.
