ON Saturday the freshman nine will play its first championship game at Princeton. Those who have been through it before know what it is to go to some other town to play for the honor of class and college. The feeling that one is surrounded by a thoroughly unsympathe tic crowd has more than once had a de pressing influence on a visiting team even so far as to turn a probable victory into defeat. Let a nine or eleven realize that in the mass of on lookers, there are some who are in sympathy with them and ready to encourage by their cheers every worthy effort, then they will play with an increased vigor that is often enough to win the victory. It is not so much the knowledge than ten or twenty or thirty college friends are watching the game, that encourages the men; it is rather the realization that the class or university has interest enough in the success of the team to send a delegation. Although it is the spirit which the class shows, that is most important, still number have their effect, particularly when it comes to a matter of cheering.

We sincerely hope there will be a goodly crowd of freshmen to accompany their nine to Princeton. It will show a very poor spirit if there are not any men who have enough class feeling to do this. There is a chance, however, for Ninety-six to show the college that it has the welfare of its team at heart; that it does posses some real spirit and enthusiasm. A book has been left at Leavitt & Peirce's and in interest of the success of the nine, we strongly urge as many men as possible to enter their names and make their preparations to go with the team to Princeton.
