UPHILL

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A week from Saturday there will be another big game in the Stadium, the third of an uphill series. Dartmouth is coming, not only the team and its supporters, but the whole college. A special train has been chartered, classes are to be abandoned right and left, and everybody, professors and students alike, is coming to Cambridge.

The University team is going to find Dartmouth an opponent hard enough in itself, but the organized support of two thousand enthusiastic "rooters" can only be met by counter-support from the University, organized and trained.

Last Saturday, what singing there was was good, but only one man out of forty in the cheering sections participated. Songs and Cheers to "get across" must be rehearsed. Undergraduates are inclined to take it for granted that because the University has good songs they will more or less sing themselves. The result is ludicrous, until after repeated prodding, something is done and there is a semblance of organization at the Yale game.

What is needed is a vigorous mass meeting next week. Song leaflets have been printed, a song leader appointed. There is plenty of enthusiasm. It is time to make use of it.
