To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

In yesterday's issue a graduate asks, "What is the matter with football at Harvard?" If he could have been at the Wesleyan game yesterday, he would have found his answer there. Although attention had been called to the necessity for spirited support from the undergraduates, the cheering was deplorably weak and scattered. Such support is more dispiriting than dead silence. Matters would be improved if the leaders knew the Harvard cheer and showed some confidence in their own ability. Would it not be a good plan for the undergraduates to give the eleven a send-off when they start for West Point, and impress upon the team the fact that the University stands behind them?

None of us want "a pitiable white-feather laying-down of arms," but rather, "are awakening to unprecedented action." UNDERGRADUATE.
