The Princeton trainer when seen at the foot-ball game and asked about base-ball prospects, replied: "We have a cage now and will put out as good a nine as possible, but we will never be able to best Yale as long as Stagg and Dann are in college." Harvard's principal anxiety seems to be that she hasn't a pitcher to equal Stagg. Spencer at first and McConkey at second base gained a reputation for their excellent work last...
Captain Stagg has arranged a schedule of hours for his men and every one has to work regularly every day. They practice batting and throwing in the cage and do systematic work in the gymnasium.

The cage has not been finished yet and it seems doubtful at present whether it will be ready for use for some time, though it was expected that practice could begin there immediately upon the re opening of college. A rather erroneous opinion of Princeton's prospects for a nine seem to have become current...
