...been frequently asked of late why the "scrub" teams are allowed so many privileges which are not given to the 'varsity and class nines. The question has come oftenest from the class baseball captains who claim that they have been greatly hindered in their work by the interference of the "scrub" teams. These latter are generally supposed to be non-representative college organizations; and they may, therefore, leave town without express permission. It is natural enough that men on the class nines should some times prefer to play these out-of-town games rather than to practice with their class...
...little book of poems by Lloyd Mck. Garrison '88, which has just appeared, "Ballads of Harvard and Other Verses." Both the "Ballads" and "Other Verses" possess what the verse of no other Harvard rhymer since Ned Martin, author of "The Little Brother of the Rich," has been able to claim, originality and finish.

The graduate treasurer speaks most encouragingly of it; everything points to it. Cannot the Harvard Athletic Association trust...
...contents shows a wide variety of subjects, and almost every article is written by a specialist. Of especial interest to college men are "The Sports of an Irish Fair," "Association Football," "A Bout with the Gloves." in "The Sports of an Irish Fair," Robt. F. Walsh puts in a claim for Ireland as the country where base ball had its origin. "Association Foot Ball" is a plea for this particular branch of football. The author thinks that football as played under the association rules ought to become the national winter pastime of boys and men, and predicts that the lovers...
