We regret to hear that the freshman class is acting in such an unpatriotic manner with regard to the team that is to represent them to day. It is evident that the members of '91 are novices in college life customs, or they would realize the mistake they are making. They can have no idea of the stimulating effect of enthusiastic cheering, or they would certainly go to New Haven and support their team. If the freshmen eleven is beaten, it will be a bitter lesson to the class, and all the more bitter because the blame will lie with them.

It is strange that such an indifference can exist in a college. It would be well if '91 took a lesson from the freshman class of Yale. Already they have been praised for the hearty support given to their team and their well-trained cheering. They will show today that their patriotism has not been for nothing, and their steady cheering will be a great aid to the representatives on the field. It must be admitted that it is a great deal more trouble to accompany a team on a trip than it is on Jarvis and yell "Harvard," but nevertheless it should not prevent a man from giving his team the support that it deserves. It is all the more creditable to those men who have gone to New Haven that they went in spite of the apathy surrounding them.
