Within the last two weeks there has been a perceptible flagging in the interest of the college in the success of the eleven. This is noticeable particularly in the fact that oftentimes there are hardly enough men on Jarvis in the afternoon to give the 'varsity team practice. Men seem to have been discouraged from playing because they have not gone to training table with the first or second eleven and because their chance for getting on either of teams seems small. If this is the real cause of the falling off in the number of players who used to appear every day, or whatever the cause may be, every one ought to remember that these days are the critical ones with our eleven, and that its success in the coming contests depends almost entirely on the practice it gets each day. We therefore urge all men to leave off as much as possible all motives except that of promoting the success of the university team and to come on the field in large numbers as formerly, with that one object in mind.
