The University joins heartily with Ninety-nine in congratulating the freshman eleven on the good, clean victory which they won in Philadelphia on Saturday. Playing almost unsupported on strange grounds, they did not allow these disadvantages to discourage them but went into the game with a spirit which would have done them credit on Soldiers Field. We assure all the members of the team that their efforts in the game and during the season's training are thoroughly appreciated. The substitutes are not less worthy of praise for the indispensable part they have had in the development of the eleven.

To coaches Scott and Forbes who have given so much time and care to the team, Saturday's victory must in large degree be ascribed. Their work, though less before the eye of the University than that of the 'varsity's coaches has been none the less faithful and is worthy of general recognition.

The advantages, if not the absolute necessity, of putting the entire responsibility for the development of the freshman teams into the hands of one or two coaches has again been clearly demonstrated. It has, we hope, become a permanent custom.
