Recognition of the work given by members of major sport squads who do not play against Yale is recommended in the suggestion of the Student Council that all who are retained throughout the year be awarded minor letters. Such a regulation would not affect members of the hockey squad, since all who are retained to the end of the season play in the Yale game.
With regard to football and baseball, men retained have often gone through the season without award, whereas if they had been cut, they might have received the minor insignia with the second team. The new ruling would be commendable, except in the special case of Seniors who have played three years on the squad, but never opposed Yale. Here it has often been the custom for the player to be voted a major H. If this custom could be continued, with the minor letters being awarded at the end of Sophomore and Junior years, the recommendation would be of advantage to all concerned.
