The college, then, has very plainly before it the duty of supporting the crew by liberal giving; it has before it an equally plain duty of supporting the nine by better attendance at the games. At the last game the number of spectators was small. As a matter of fact the nine is playing an excellent game. They more than deserve all the support which the college can possibly give them.

While was are speaking of support for our athletic teams, we should like to suggest that the college improve the few remaining chances which it will have to show an interest in the track athletic team. The men train every day at noon, an hour which for many is free. While it is altogether probable that if the whole college congregated on Holmes Field at that hour, it would interfere with the work of the men, there is every reason to suppose that a lively display of interest would prove a great encouragement to the men who are working hard for Harvard's success.
