FRESHMAN SPORTSMANSHIP.

Ardent support by the undergraduates is admittedly a prime factor in the success of any branch of college athletics, and is a thing to be fostered at all times. One class in the University has shown keen interest in backing athletics. The Freshman eight will accompany the University oarsmen to Annapolis tomorrow to meet the first-year boats of Princeton and the United States Naval Academy. There is but one thing that has made this a possibility, --the spirit of a class which has collected from its members the sum of $550 wherewith to send its crew to the Severn. Nor is this the first time that the Freshmen have shown interest in their major sports. At the climax of the hockey season they offered to supply the funds to send their team to New York for the Yale and Princeton games, since those universities found it impracticable to have their freshmen make the trip to Cambridge. Unfortunately for the success of their zealous support those games were cancelled at the last minute.

On Saturday 1922 will enter its first representative competition in intercollegiate major sports. The Freshman Class deserves a victory.
