Complaints against freshman classes are always plentifullenough, but ninety-seven seems to hold the record both in the number of things to which it is indifferent and in the strength of its indifference. It has been the CRIMSON'S unfortunate fate to send up wail after wail over the manner in which the freshmen support their teams. First it was football; then the crew was ill-supported; now the baseball team is having trouble. Last week all candidates for the positions of pitcher and catcher were asked to meet in the gymnasium at 3.30 in the afternoon of a certain day. At the appointed hour two men appeared, one pitcher and one catcher. They had never met before and consequently there was no chance to judge of them as a battery. After waiting half an hour, they, with ex-Captain Cook, left the gymnasium, feeling that the freshman baseball season had not opened very auspiciously.

We dislike very much to give the same remedy over and over again and to repeat for the thousandth time the tale of disaster; the trouble is perfectly evident and must be clear even to the men who choose to wink at it. Another call will be madevery soon and we sincerely hope that something will move the freshman baseball men to a proper sense of their responsibility.
