...together with numerous college athletes, took part in the games, and the large number of entries-about 700-made it necessary to hold the preliminary heats in the afternoon from two to six, and the finals from eight till near midnight. A few innovations were made, as lacrosse and base-ball games were played under cover for the first time. The H. A. A. did not send down any representatives. However, two men, Stead, '91, and Lee, '91, went down on their own account, but failed to win. Yale sent quite a number of entries, but all failed...
...announced later. The playing rules of the National League were adopted with three exceptions. The old rule on fouls is to be retained, The batter being out when a foul is caught on the fly: a batsman hit by a pitched hall is not to be allowed his base, and the tenth man clause is struck out.

Leland, a new man, will play in the outfield with Dickerman and Dalzell. The team plays a good fielding game, but are not very heavy batters...
...given one of the out fields. Unless Stagg can be induced to alter his decision, Dalzell, '91, will pitch. He was substitute pitcher last year and can be relied upon to do good work, although he is a trifle wild in his delivery. McBride will again cover first base, McClintock, second base, and Noyes, (captain), third base. McConkey plays a brilliant game at short stop, and he will without much doubt be retained in that position. Calhoun, '91, will play again in the field, together with G. McClintock, '90, and the change pitcher or catcher. During the winter the candidates...
