1913 Football Mass Meeting

The Freshman football mass meeting held in Upper Massachusetts last evening was very well attended, about 200 men being present. Captain Fish spoke first and explained that this year for the first time Freshmen were called out for football practice before the opening of College, in order that the coaches could get some idea of the ability of the candidates. Mr. W. F. Garcelon L.'95 then dwelt on the vital importance of keeping up the standard of athletics by careful attention to College work. Coach Waterbury was the last speaker and explained what was expected of each man on the field. Steady and regular work is necessary to appreciate and understand football, which is the only way to win a place on the team. All candidates must report in football clothes at the Locker Building this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
