WE have information from perfectly satisfactory sources, that there are certain members of the 'varsity nine who are not keeping strict training. We mean by this that they are not living up to the rules laid down by the captain. The conduct of some of the players on the Easter trip was such that you wonder the team made as good a record as it did. Since then the training has been much better, but not up to the standard which is required. Whether or not the erratic playing of the nine has been caused by this loose system of training, is a question which the men themselves can best answer, for they only know just to what excess they have carried it. However this may be, it is unpardonable that any man should jeopardize the chances of victory by his own private conduct. The principle at stake is one, the justice of which every fair minded person will admit. A man owes it to the University he represents to the players who are conscientious in their work, and to himself that he obey, not only to the letter but to the spirit, the regulations which are supposed to govern him. If he is not willing to do this he has no business on the team, either as a regular or a substitute, no matter how valuable he may be in his place. For many years athletics at Harvard languished for this very indifference to training. Now the college sentiment demands a strict enforcement of the rules. It is an imposition for a few players themselves to oppose it. The next two weeks require a man to be in his best possible physical condition and the University expects a stricter obedience to the law.
