AGAIN it seems necessary to remind the freshman class of the duty it owes to its athletic teams. The need of money for the nine is imperative. The first game with Princeton is scheduled for Saturday, and to cover the expenses of the trip the manager must have in hand by Friday, at the latest, fully three hundred dollars. This must be given by the class, for the Athletic Committee will not allow it to be borrowed. Unless, then, Ninety-six will come forward within the next few days to the support of her nine, she must bear the chagrin of seeing the Princeton game cancelled for lack of funds to pay for the travelling expenses. This is no idle threat. Other classes have been placed in similar predicaments, but they have managed to extricate themselves by subscribing liberally. We wish to state the facts plainly and accurately to the members of Ninety-six. It is for them to decide what shall be done. During the next two or three days, the collectors will endeavor to raise the required amount of money. Unless they meet with a generous disposition to give, Ninety-six will find herself in an unenviable position. Her baseball manager will be forced to do what no other class manager has ever yet done and the responsibility for his action will rest on the class alone.
