Communication

Track Squads Precariously Small.

[We invite all men in the University to submit communications on subjects of timely interest.]

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

It is very necessary that the attention of all men in the University be called to the precarious condition of the track team at present. Since the end of the mid-year period comparatively few men have reported for work and never before have the daily squads been so small at this time of year. If we are to win this important meet with Yale, every man with the slightest experience or interest in track athletics in College should at once come out. There is no further excuse for men who have been on the team in past years to postpone regular daily work, for the major part of the responsibility in the team's success rests on them, and the fact that they have made good before does not excuse them from every effort of which they are capable. Serious training, of course, will not be expected until the team moves to Soldiers Field, but consistent daily exercise is imperative and is the duty of every man who has the success of the team at heart, and who wishes Harvard to gain permanent possession of the dual cup. LAURENCE P. DODGE '08.
