...team went to the grounds of the Wellington club, on Saturday last, and shot a practice match. Contrary to the expectation of those who know the relative strength of the two teams, the contest proved very close, and the Harvard team showed unexpected skill. The Wellington team ranks among the strongest in the country, and the excellent showing made against it augurs well for the success of Harvard in the coming championship match. The summary follows...
...majority of the committee of the overseers appointed to consider the letics say in their report that during the last year ninety-four contests took place costing $25,000.

The club intends to secure a room, and will probably be established in its new quarters before the final meeting...
...simply influenced by the desire to fight upon an equal basis with our opponents. Public opinion here at Harvard is still too strong to be disregarded; and every man in college knows what Harvard would think of a deliberate attempt to learn "tricks" on the part of the nine. Among other things, Mr. "X" says (in the columns of the Advocate) that playing with professionals "will not make the games a whit more interesting to players or spectators." This shows that either he knows nothing of the gmae, or knowing a little, cares much less...
