From the account of the candidates for the nine which we publish to-day, it will be seen that Harvard's chances for success on the diamond this year are very slight indeed. With five vacant places to fill the outlook is not very encouraging. Our greatest rivals, Yale and Princeton, have also suffered in this way, but not nearly as much as Harvard has.

Captain Willard we are sure will do all he can but he is laboring under great disadvantages, having so much raw material and being without the incentive of a victorious nine behind him. If the nine is to make a step toward regaining its lost position, it must have the hearty, whole-souled support of the college. The men are willing to do their part. Do not let them fail, because the college does not do her part.
