Editors Daily Crimson:

I should like, through your columns, to call the attention of the students of Harvard university to a rule of the gymnasium which is not in the least observed. I refer to the rule posted conspicuously to the effect that no men, not in gymnasium clothes, are allowed on the floor of the gymnasium. The purpose of this rule is to keep off from the floor, men who simply drop in to see the teams work, and the necessity of the rule is now apparent. For the past two or three winters the floor has been lined with men watching the eleven practicing dropping on the ball and pursuing their other training. Of course it is gratifying to see so much interest evinced in the work of the team, but when this interest takes the form of hindering the men at their work, as in this case it does, it ought to be stopped. The passages are often so crowded that men wishing to go from one side of the hall to the other, find it impossible, and in spite of the fact that the crowd is often cleared away by the officers of the gymnasium it collects again a most immediately. Of course this is all due to the thought lessness of the men, but let us hope that in the future they will obey the rules and render the teams material aid in giving them room in which to work.
