RECONSIDERATION REQUESTED.

It is with regret that we learn that the Athletic Association has decided against a training table for the track men. While appreciating the circumstances which led them to take this stand we cannot entirely agree with their conclusions.

A man may eat only what is good for him without a training table. It is obvious, however, that his chances of keeping a wholesome diet are greater when his food is specially prepared than when he merely eats around Cambridge. Furthermore, while track men do not need team work in the same sense as baseball and crew, they will benefit by the moral effect of being thrown together. To be successful they should talk track, eat track, and live track. Our team has an excellent opportunity of winning the intercollegiate meet. Any step that may hurt those chances is poor economy.
