To the Editors of the Crimson:

Will you kindly inform the general student body through your columns, if any provision has been made for the substitutes in the awarding of sweaters and lettering for the football season? The men who made the University eleven got the "H" and the players on the scrub received a "2nd." Now, why are the substitutes of the first eleven discriminated against? At Yale, a certain number of substitutes are given caps with the letter Y, and F B on either side, and I see no reason why the same plan cannot be adopted by Harvard. The regulation black cap with the red "H" and the letters F and B on either side, could be, and should be given to substitutes on the University eleven. As the crew and track team substitutes are honored with appropriate letters as a reward for their efforts, certainly the football substitutes should be likewise honored, as their work is a grind with little to show for it in the end, but a plain, black sweater. This matter has been discussed of late by many graduates, and therefore I think the present time the best to advocate some move in this direction. L. S. S., 1901.
