We wish the 'Varsity Nine the best of success in its game with Princeton this afternoon. In spite of occasional lapses the team has proved that it can put up a strong, snappy game, and we expect it to reach its highest standard of work in the game today. The students at the game must do all that they can to encourage the players, by organized, strong cheering at the good plays and between the innings, especially when Harvard is behind. There is just one thing in connection with the cheering that ought to be spoken of, although we feel that it should be unnecessary to speak of it to Harvard men. Several graduates of the University who watched a recent baseball game on Holmes Field expressed themselves after the game as thoroughly disgusted with the spirit in which the undergraduates applauded the playing. All idea of fair play seemed to them to have been lost in the desire to win, the errors of Harvard's opponents being loudly cheered and attempts being made to spoil their pitcher's aim. This account seems to us exaggerated, but there must have been some trace of such a spirit at the game to impress several persons sitting at different parts of the field. If any such spirit should be shown on Holmes Field this afternoon it will mar the whole game for many of the spectators, and will seriously injure Harvard's good name. Harvard has a high reputation for fair play and it must be kept untarnished.
