At the baseball and track mass meeting, which will be held in the Union tonight, we shall have a good opportunity to express our real feelings for the men who have devoted many hours this spring that they might worthily represent Harvard in important athletic contests. The pleasant memories of similar meetings before the Yale football game last fall are too near to make it necessary for us to urge men to attend the meeting tonight. Although we do not believe that much organized and "pumped" cheering is necessary or desirable, especially during the progress of a baseball game or track meet, we do feel that regular singing by a large crowd of undergraduates creates good feeling and helps to fill in what would otherwise prove awkward pauses in the sport. But to be effective and to compare favorably with the other colleges, our songs should be well rehearsed and to furnish this necessary practice is one of the principal objects of the meeting tonight. The members of the teams are required to practice daily, and it seems but a reasonable reciprocation that undergraduates as a whole should give up a few evenings to practice their part in the important games and meets which are to follow.
