The members of the 'varsity nine have been a good deal bothered in their practice lately by having the crowds walk across Holmes field on their way to Jarvis. The inconvenience of having to play, interrupted by this constant stream is very annoying, and moreover it prevents the best work on the part of the team. The nine knows that it has got to make a tremendous improvement to win the series from Yale and Princeton, and it is doing its best in practice to make this improvement. The least that Harvard can do for these men who are working so hard for it is to let them alone and give them room to do their best. Is it too much of a sacrifice to demand of the college that they walk a few steps further in order to help their nine to victory?
