We wish to call the attention of all men who possess any kind of athletic ability to the notice of the H. A. A. in another column. This year it is the duty of every loyal Harvard man who is worth anything on the track or field to take hold with a will and help his college win back the Mott Haven cup. Last year, after seven years of continuous victory, we lost the cup to Yale's exceptionally strong team. Only the most earnest and strenuous efforts can this year restore Harvard to the position she so long held at the head of track and field athletics in the colleges. Every man who takes an honest pride in the athletic victory of Harvard and feels any shame at her defeat ought to help on the Mott Haven team to the best of his ability.

In this branch of athletics, Harvard has in the past been unexcelled, and we believe would be so now if all the men who are conscious of athletic ability would come out and help on the team. Where a man does his best for the honor of his college, he shows an honorable thing, whether he himself succeed or fail. If every athletic man would come out and work, the standard of our track athletes would certainly be raised. The freshmen are specially urged to enter their class meeting. A good freshman athlete is worth more to the college than those in the upper classes, for he will be able to represent his college for at least four years. The Athletic Assocition looks to '91 for a strong representation on this years Mott Haven team.
