42 FAITHFUL FRESHMEN.

A 1911 mass meeting was scheduled to take place in the Union last evening to practice songs and cheers and encourage one of the best Freshman baseball teams of recent years. Exactly 42 Freshmen had enough interest in their nine to take the trouble of appearing at the meeting. Forty-two out of 630 men gave evidence of some appreciation of what the team has already done and gave it their support in the deciding contests that are at hand.

Does the class of 1911 think that its athletic career is so good that it can afford to go on record as a class that does not care for a victory over Yale? Do defeats in football and track, and a single victory in hockey, put 1911 teams on a plane where they are above the necessity of support? Most certainly not. Wake up, Freshmen! Last night's demonstration outclasses all previous records for Freshman indifference. It does not show the kind of spirit that is going to bring success this year or in any future year, when University activities will be in the hands of 1911 men. If the Freshmen care at all for their baseball record, if they do not want to be remembered as a shiftless and disunited class, they will have to avoid in the future such pitiful exhibitions of spirit.
