In the work which the freshman nine has done this season, including the game of yesterday, the men have shown two things very clearly: first, that there is good material to be developed among them; second, that, at present, this material is showing the most surprising unsteadiness imaginable. The college is not disposed to censure freshman teams without reason, simply because they are freshmen; and Ninety-four, therefore, may feel well assured that the college is showing entire justice when it condemns the nine for the unsteadiness which they have been showing. Yesterday they played a very fair game. The college has a right to demand that they shall keep this game up and improve it. Only a week and a half remain before the first game with Yale '94. It is a short time, but long enough for the nine to brace itself up at its weak points. What these weaknesses and needs are the nine itself well enough knows. If Captain Lowell and his men do not show, by their work with Yale '94, that they have had a realizing sense of their duty, they will meet the just and hearty condemnation of the college.
