EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- It may not be out of the way to suggest through your paper that the upper classmen come out afternoons and play the freshman eleven. There are many foot-ball players in college whose services are not sought by the second 'Varsity who would render great service to '91 if they would take the trouble to come out for three-quarters of an hour every day. The freshman second eleven is made up of very light men who are not able to give their team the practice it needs. There is no reason why men in the upper classes should not practice with the freshmen. It is hard to see on what grounds they can consider it incompatible with their dignity. In other colleges the higher classes play daily with their freshman team, and it is a custom which should be encouraged at Harvard.

If '91 is beaten by Yale, there will be others beside freshmen to deserve the blame. '88.
