...accept the position again, and we congratulate the members of the team and the University on his appointment. It is a considerable sacrifice to give up as much time as is necessary to coach a Football team and to do the work without any compensation. We can well understand Coach Haughton's hesitation, considering the pressure which was brought to bear each way, and we are the more pleased with the acceptance for that reason.

The communication printed in another column this morning shows that only about 50 Freshmen considered it worth their while to report for the first practice of the crew, a state of affairs which is particularly hard to understand after Harvard's success in rowing last year. Probably the best oarsmen in the class are among this number, but as it has so often been shown, good oarsmen can be developed from men of no experience. It is to be hoped that the size of the squad today will...
