...cage itself is in good condition. Captain Willard has caused to be hung around the wire sides of the cage a thick cotton cloth. The benefits derived are two-fold. The light thereby is kept within the cage, an essential factor in afternoon practice. In addition, this seclusion admits of closer application to duties, since the presence of a large crowd of commenters is sure to distract the attention of the candidates...
...dates have as yet been made with professional nines, though several are under negotiation. Captain Willard proposes to play three or four games of this sort on a projected trip to take place during the April vacation. If satisfactory arrangements can be made, there will be, in all probability, nine or ten games with professional clubs during the season. As there is no New England League of professional teams this year, our opponents will necessarily be drawn entirely from the league nines. This will necessitate the playing of such games before May 1, the date of the opening...
...boating matters is so productive of self-sacrifice, it seems quite in place for us to urge the college boating men of long experience to select some one of their number as coach for the candidates for the freshman crew. This duty is at present performed by the captain and coxswain of the '92 eight, men who, from the nature of the case are too inexperienced to coach others in the best manner, and who themselves need the advice of experienced oarsmen. To retrieve the honor of Harvard in rowing matters, '92 must put a winning crew upon the river...
...published in yesterday's CRIMSON a notice from the captain of the Mott Haven team calling for candidates for the team. He urged especially that the number of men to put the shot and throw the hammer ought to be large, since most of those who contested in this event last summer have left college. We hope this appeal will be answered by every man who feels that he has any ability in field or track athletics. The number of candidates for the Mott Haven team in past years has always been very large, and to this fact its success...
...said that Stagg is unwilling to play again. These losses taken together with Harvard's increased chances on account of the removal of certain restrictions, make the New Haven men talk as if the loss of the pennant by Yale next spring was by no means improbable. Captain Noyes will have plenty of material from which to select men to fill the vacant positions. At present, Poole, '91, and McClung, '92, are the most promising men for the position of catcher. There have been some rumors that Stagg would go behind the bat, but they seem to have little foundation...
