...fast practice game yesterday afternoon the University team defeated the second team by a score of 8 to 3. Dr. F. J. Goodridge '98, R. S. Hardy '01 and A. Winsor '02 played on the second team.

At bat, the team hit the ball better than it has done at any time previously this year, as the men made long, hard line drives that were in contrast to the files made in the Holy Cross game. In the field, also, the work was animated and showed the spirit of determination and hard work that pervades the team. Although a heavy thunder shower fell during the practice, the men carried every play through to its end, despite the slippery...
