THE YALE FRESHMAN GAME

On the occasion of the final and most important game of the season this afternoon, the Freshman class has an opportunity of showing its confidence in the baseball team, and of expressing its appreciation of an unusually successful season, unmarred by a single defeat. Last week the Yale freshmen were defeated by a narrow margin, and it is likely that today's contest will be a hard one. Arrangements have been made for a cheering section reserved for Freshmen, and those who attend the Cornell game on season tickets should make an effort after the University game to fill the vacant places adjoining the cheering section.

We do not mean to urge upon 1910 the sort of cheering which is directed toward rattling the opposing team. Harvard athletics have been noteworthy for the absence of such tactics, and should remain so. It is certain, however, that hearty and spontaneous cheering, judiciously used, is often effective in inspiring the team with confidence necessary to tide over a crucial point.

There will be a rival attraction this afternoon in the intercollegiate meet, but every Freshman should place the athletics of his own class first, and remain in the stands until the last man is retired, no matter which team is ahead.
