    agement as yet. Our foot ball team had an exceedingly
hard schedule this year, and some of the hardest work came
at the'outset. We lost some of our men of last year and al
though we have good material among the new men it takes
time to get new men to work with the team. The student
body should support the team by sending out a larger scrub
and also by large delegations-on the side lines.
In a few days we have a game to play that must be won.
G-ive the team all the encouragement you can in the mean time,
and show them that you are interested. We cannot afford
to allow BuCknell to win the game this year, and the result
depends almost as much on the attitude of the student body
during the next week as upon the eleven men who line up on
the field. Let every student who can do so go to Williamsport
and help in our victory.-
An Alumni Number of the Free Lance will be issued
soon and all the old men are invited to send some note,
sketch, or story to help make it as interesting as it can be
made. If each one will consider this a personal invitation to
contribute we shall be able to publish a number which will be
of special interest to everyone. Let us hear from you, either
with a story or any item of interest which you may be able
to send.
Among the new students there should be some who are
able to write stories. Probably there are a number who
have done such work before, and there are more who could
do it if they should try. We need the help of all the stu
dents in order to issue a magazine of any interest and we in
vite you to contribute to our columns.
