We publish in another column a call by Captain Cumnock for candidates for the eleven. He intends to form a squad on the same plan as that of last year and keep the players in practice all the spring. There are a large number of men in college who have the necessary qualifications for football players, but have never tried for the eleven and are not trying for any other team. It is these men especially that Captain Cumnock hopes to reach. They should realize that Harvard can never show for her best in foot ball until every physically suitable man has been tested on the field. It is undoubtedly embarrassing for an inexperienced man to take his place on Jarvis field in the autumn in a crowd of good players, but now he will have a chance to work in a less conspicuous place and with inexperienced companions. It is not only the new men, however, that are wanted, but the more experienced players as well, for all will find the spring's work a great benefit. There has never been a year when Harvard had a stronger incentive to win than she will have next autumn. That she cannot win without the most thorough and earnest work has been shown by past experience. That she shall win should be every Harvard man's deter mination and every, man called upon should contribute his share toward success by joining the foot ball squad.
