The great baseball game of the year is to be played this afternoon on Holmes Field. To the average student this game means more than almost any other contest of the year. Our Nine has proved that it can play good ball, and we expect it to win the game for us today. Every man on the Nine must go on to the field with a fixed determination to come out ahead, whatever happens, and must remember that his victory means everything to his fellow students. There must be no loose or careless playing by any one, for this is a thing that the students will not forgive. The more uphill the game the greater must be the determination to win in the end. If this is the spirit that is shown by the base ball men today we have every reason to hope for victory. But if we are beaten the disgrace of defeat falls upon all the students alike. If on the contrary we lose the game by poor playing and needless errors, the disgrace falls chiefly upon the men who are most directly to blame, although the sting of the defeat will be shared by the students in general. We wish Captain Dean and his men all success in the great game.
