We desire to call attention to the meeting of candidates for the Mott Haven team to be held to day as announced. The object of the meeting is to determine as far as possible how many men are intending to train during the year, and to give them instruction relative to the training before the Christmas recess begins. The real work, it must be remembered, commences immediately after the vacation is over.

For two reasons unusual efforts must be made this year to produce a winning team. In the first place the old Mott Haven cup, which has been won by Harvard eight times out of fourteen, comes to her for good, and is replaced by a new one. It will be difficult for Harvard to show as good a record in the years to come as in those just past, and for this reason it is urgent that the names of her team should be the first inscribed upon the new cup. Furthermore our failure to win in football puts an added responsibility upon the Mott Haven team. It is for them to maintain Harvard's superiority in track athletics and to bring back to her some of the athletic prestige which she has lost. There is thus a double duty upon all men who believe themselves eligible for the Mott Haven team to appear at the meeting tonight in the trophy room of the gymnasium.
