people still assert that il is the most
tuneful opera ever composed.

Final Struggle of the Holy Cross
Team for the Season will Be
Against Tufts on Mt. St. James
This Afternoon
PURPLE ELEVEN IN
THE BEST OF CONDITION
Students of the College Held a
Mass Meeting Last Night and
Arranged for Systematic Cheer
ing to Encourage the Team
Today

Members Of the Holy Cross football
team donned suits for the last practice
of the season yesterday, and are now
awaiting the final struggle Of the year
which will be with Tufts this after
noon at o'clock, on the college field.
No game which the Holy Cross foot
ball team has ever played has aroused
the interest that is shown in this game.
and no Holy Cross team or previous
years has been able to play the game
as well as this years eleven. Having
gone through the season with only one
defeat and only one tie game, the holy
Cross team Is in fine condition to nm
ish I'D the season with a glorious VIC
tory.
There is no doubt that the Holy
Cross team that is to play the game
this afternoon Is the strongest that mas
played In any game this season. None
of the men is injured and consequently
| the entire varsity team will play the
game. Reid, whose heavy plungtng ana
good punting means so much for Holy
Cross, will be in the game for the first
time since the Andover game. rms
will allow Mercer, who has been play
! ing fullback in Reid's place. to go PACK
| to his old position In the line, in case
rany of the men are injured. Figuring
on the score of the game which holy
| Cross and Tufts played in the carry
part of the season. Holy Cross should
be the winner, but, as both teams have
Improved much since then, the outcome
of the game Is in doubt. Holy Cross
feels confident of victory but the Med
ford men are none the less confident.
Hard practice has been in vogue at
that town since this game was sched-
luled, and it is the intention of the Tufts
team to win the game at any cost, IN
order that the stifma of the former
defeat may be wiped out.
The Holy Cross students have at last
arranged some definite sort of cheering
arrangements for the game. A meet
ing of the student body was held last
might and cheer leaders were appointed
Several songs have been arranged for
1.-THE game and some of the old ones dear
to the Holy Cross grads" Will be
sung. Speeches were also in order at
the meeting, and Maurice Conner, to
whom is due the credit for the win
lining team at Holy Cross this year, was
lgreeted with a tremendous applause
when he mounted the platform to give
his words of encouragement to the
men. His words were few and to the
lpoint, as is his system of coaching, and
they can be summed up In few words:
play football from the blow of the
whistle to the end of the game and vic
tory is assured. If you do this you will
have nothing to regret, and may safe
ly say that you will have established a
football record at Holy Cross" The
Injecting closed with a rousing cheer
for the team and each man on the
team.
With such enthusiasm as this, an in
teresting game is assured for this af-
