Day before yesterday thirty-five men reported for the Freshman hockey team. Yesterday seven men appeared. Is the University to understand that this is a true index of the Freshman spirit? Is it correct to assume that the first cold day will see eighty per cent of the Freshman hockey squad huddled around the Smith, Standish and Gore Hall fire-places?
It is certainly too bad that hockey cannot be played in front of an open fire, but the nature of the sport seems to preclude the idea. Doubtless the football team would prefer to practice in morrischairs; the swimming team would like to hold their races in bathtubs. Doubtless, but --. Harvard men do not always spend their time avoiding disagreeable work. Our much-envied string of victories over Yale and Princeton proves that there are some men in College who are not afraid of cold weather or hard, unpleasant, grinding practice.
The University would like to feel that the present Freshman class is no exception to her rule of reliability and stick-to-it-iveness. But as long as the 1923 hockey squad evaporates at a snap of cold weather, Harvard will have to take it at its own valuation.
