Only three days remain in which the freshmen may prepare for their contest at Yale; at the end of that time it must be decided whether the freshman championship shall remain here or shall go to Yale. Of course there is but one wish throughout the university that our eleven shall win. The freshman football teams of the past three years have established a precedent which must not be broken. At the same time our team must work if they would succeed. The fact that very little has been heard of Yale's freshman team this year is no criterion of their strength. We may be sure that they will work to win, and that is more than half the game. The presence-of 'varsity men too, must not inspire undue confidence in our eleven. There is no reason why the team if rightly used should not win; but too much self-confidence, or too little conscientiousness will leave just the loop-hole for which we may be sure Yale's team will be looking.
