Captain Slocum has recovered again, and resumed his place as Captain of the freshman eleven. We trust that the purpose expressed in his notice yesterday will be pursued to the letter. Ninety has better material for an eleven than any class which has entered during the past five years. For the first week the candidates for the team played well. Then the new uniforms dazzled some and discouraged others so that in the match between the freshmen and the second class, the latter proved easy victors. This kind of playing must be stopped at once, and we believe Mr. Slocum means to stop it. Meanwhile all men who have given up trying for the eleven, ought to continue practising hard, for, unless three men in the rush line adopt a different style of playing, there ought to be three vacancies in the eleven very soon, - and these must be filled (or retained) by men who have shown themselves worthy to do so. The whole eleven, in fact, must brace, and brace very hard; but the flagrant cases ought to be remedied at once.
