We want to say a word to remind the college of its good, old custom of cheering university athletic teams as they leave Cambridge. This morning the team which will represent us at the intercollegiate games tomorrow will start for New York. We can assure them that that they have the best wishes of the college. Such assurances, however, can best be supported by an enthusiastic demonstration by the college. We hope that every man will be on hand to give the team a hearty send-off. It is a tremendous encouragement to the men to have the college show its loyalty in this fashion.

There is no reason why the whole college should not turn out to cheer the team. We wish that the whole college could as easily be at the games tomorrow. Though such good fortune is impossible, we hope that the number of those who go will be so large and so enthusiastic as ably to represent the college's loyal spirit.

As for our other representatives, the men who compete, the chances look bright for victory. In such closely contested events, however, it is impossible accurately to predict the results. In the past the favorable results which Harvard has had have been the outcome of the system which has developed and set a large number of men on the scratch in each event. On this same system Harvard must rely for success tomorrow. Every man should be taken to the games who stands the slightest chance of gaining a point for Harvard. Under such circumstances Harvard has high hopes for victory; whatever may be the result, the college will give nothing but praise to the men who have been working for her success.
