...have confidence in Captain Fish's team. The fact that the coaching system which was successful last year is practically unchanged, the eight victories already won this fall, and the consistent improvement from game to game, encourage us to believe that the season of 1909 will end as well as did that...

We are printing the first verse, and hope that every man will make himself thoroughly familiar with it, so that on future occasions when...
