The date of the first freshman game with Yale has been fixed and is now little more than a week distant. This game takes place on our own grounds, and eighty-nine should put forth every effort to win. Yale has this year an unexceptionally strong freshman nine, if we may judge from the accounts which come from New Haven; but by keeping in strict training, and by practicing steadily, there is no reason why our freshmen should not make things ???ively for their opponents. But training and practice must be attended to if eighty-nine wishes to make a good showing in this first game. The nine as a whole must play more together, and each man should remember that he is in a responsible position, and owes it to his class to play in his very best form. Then, eighty-nine, when you face your adversaries of the 19th, remember three things, keep cool, be confident, but not over-confident, and play each man of you for all you are worth. And may success attend your efforts!
