Yesterday afternoon and Thursday the outfielders on the University baseball squad were given out-door practice catching files on the scrub football field. The pitchers commenced throwing curves on Wednesday, and since then have shown poor control, although some of them have good speed.

Although open to numerous objections, by far the most rational plan yet suggested is to allow a nominating committee, - composed perhaps of the president of the class from which the candidates are to be chosen, and the captains and managers of the four major sports, - to pick five men whose qualifications are generally admitted. Then let the class choose a winner...
