A "ROOTING" SECTION

The suggestion in the communication column that the baseball team should be given better support is certainly commendable' it is doubtful, though, whether" organized cheering during a game is of as much value as spontaneous backing from the Harvard stands. At present the men who attend games are so sparsely scattered that any vociferous attempt at encouraging the players becomes conspicuous, and is thus dampened at the start. If the Crimson rooters were segregated in a stand especially reserved (such a stand exists now but is not enforced) and--if all students who came to the game sat in this section, instead of spreading along the first base line, support of the nine would be more energetic. This is the kind of support the team will need in the Holy Cross game this afternoon, and during the remainder of the season.
