...Saturday morning the University Nine played a closely contested game with a picked nine; the latter having the advantage of Ernst's and Tyng's valuable services. The game resulted in favor of the picked nine by a score of 7 vs. 4 in six innings. Base-hits, Picked Nine, 6, University 4.

...spoke in our last issue of a petition that had been sent by the officers of the Base-Ball Club to the Corporation relative to playing matches on Jarvis with other than college nines; with regard to which an answer had not then been returned. We have since learned that the petition was not granted for several reasons. Our base-ball prospects then looked gloomy enough, but matters have improved somewhat of late.

...PETITION has been sent to the Corporation by the officers of the Base-Ball Club, asking permission to play matches with other than college nines on Holmes or Jarvis Field, when it is in condition to be used.

...Freshman Nine, too, need to train themselves thoroughly before they meet Yale, for the Yale Freshmen are putting all their energy into base-ball, and will probably turn out a strong team in the spring. The Nine now are doing good work in the Gymnasium, and promise well. They are, however, much in need of a catcher, as the person who has been training for that position is ill, and probably will hardly be able to play with them...
