Despite the personal character of the football notice on another page it is earnestly desired that all men both old and new should as far as possible make their appearance at the practice on Jarvis field. The invitation is extended to those who have never played the game as well as those who are already familiar with its technicalities. A good physique is more desirable than previously acquired skill. That you have never played before need not deter you from learning now, and if you have not been already urged to play it is far from being proof that your work is not desired. While the captain does his utmost he cannot of course seek every man in person, and yet you who have been inadvertently passed by are perhaps the very ones who by earnest work may bring victory to Harvard, Surely in a case of this kind all reticence and self-distrust should be forgotten for the general good.
