EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: - I wish to say a few words about the treatment accorded the Yale freshmen nine yesterday afternoon by the portion of the audience composed of Harvard undergraduates, In a recent issue you took occasion to criticise the unseemly conduct of the spectators at the Yale-Harvard game in New Haven; nothing, it seems to me, could have been much more unseemly than the "muckerish" conduct of the men on Holmes Field yesterday. During a six years residence in Cambridge I have never seen its equal for ungentlemanliness, and hope never to again. As long as possible I tried to excuse the conduct of the men, laying it to freshness and over-enthusiasm; but when the crowd resorted to jeering the players of the other side in order to cause them to drop flies and make wild throws, and I saw the cheering led in one quarter by a substitute of the 'Varsity nine, conspicuous by his uniform cap, there seemed to be no further room for excuses and I was bound to confess that the old chivalrous tone prevading Harvard audiences on the ball field had departed. I am not alone in this opinion for the condemnation of the afternoon's proceedings by all the graduates with whom I conversed after the game was as hearty as my own.

Cannot something be done to bring about a return to the old days of fair play to foes ar well as friends?
