As announced yesterday and today in another column of the CRIMSON, all candidates for the Mott Haven team are earnestly requested to meet Captain Wheelwright in the Trophy Rroom this afternoon at 4.30. The following facts in connection with this meeting should be borne in mind by all men in the University who have any ability as athletes. In the first place as many men and more men is possible than were present at a similar meeting last year should present themselves as candidates. It is very important that Mr. Lathrop and the Captain should know from the very beginning of the training season just how much material is available and just where the strength or lack of strength of the material lies, that they may make their plans accordingly. In the second place men who have never done anything in general athletics but who feel themselves physically suited for any of the events must put aside their shyness and at least give the trainers a chance to test them, for very often excellent runners and jumpers are developed from material previously unknown. In the third place, and most important of all, there is the greatest need of men for the heavy work with the hammer and shot. Last year Harvard only entered one man for these events in the Mott Haven games, and though this man won several points, our chances would have been materially improved and our reputation for this line of work better sustained had there been more entries. There must be men from the football squads who can be made good use of in this heavy work and those football men should take hold of this question of general athletics with the same willingness and enthusiasm that they showed in the fall. Every one should remember that the Mott Haven team is as much a University affair as any of the other teams and that as a University organization it deserves the same hearty support which is accorded to football and baseball and rowing. Our Mott Haven teams in fact have done more for us in bringing us victory than any of the other organizations. Every effort must be made to win back what Harvard lost last year and the best beginning for this effort is to bring out every bit of available material. The initial step must come from the students themselves; future guidance may safely be left to Captain Wheelwright and Mr. Lathrop.
