To The Editors of the CRIMSON:

Several appeals have already been made through these columns for candidates for the Freshman lacrosse team. The response has by no means been satisfactory. There are now less than two weeks left before the April vacation; the class games occur immediately after the vacation. If the Class of 1917 is to be represented in a worthy manner in the class series, and if, what is more important, the class is to give a good account of itself in games with Andover and other outside teams, it is imperative that the number of candidates for the team be at once increased. Two weeks is but a short time to develop a passable team from the best material; when the number of candidates is barely sufficient to make up a complete team, the task is well-nigh impossible. Every Freshman who has the slightest measure of athletic ability and who has the interests of his class at heart should consider himself under a personal obligation to come out for his lacrosse team this afternoon. The game is an excellent one; witness the enthusiasm of the graduates who have formed the Boston Lacrosse Club. Here is an opportunity for genuine exercise and stimulating sport. Freshmen, take advantage of it. P. F. BRUNDAGE '14   C. S. PARKER 1G.
