The freshmen have so far this year shown themselves so thoroughly alive and enthusiastic over the interests of their teams that it would be truly a shame should they not support their nine heartily when they play Yale next Saturday. A book has already been placed at Leavitt and Peirce's for the signatures of those intending to make the trip, and nothing should deter every freshman who can possibly go to do so. The encouragement infused into a team by the presence and cheering of a large number of their class-mates is a potent factor of success, and it would be a pity, indeed, if the freshmen here could not muster as large a delegation to go to New Haven as their rivals brought to Cambridge last Saturday. Besides the duty which devolves upon every member of Ninety-one to support his team to the best of his ability, the game at Yale is one of those land-marks in the history of every freshman class, the retrospect of which is always pleasant. If the nine win, nothing will surpass the joy of those who witnessed the victory and by their presence and encouragement helped keep Yale "off the fence;" if defeat be their fate, the complimentary dinner tendered all the Harvard men after the game will purge their melancholy.
