Could we, however, become young again by virtue of some witch-potion and enter college once more with all the ignorance, liveliness, and ambition to succeed at whatever cost which we find to our surprise in the undergraduates of the present day, would we act so very differently after all? Would we not be charmed as of old by big, useless muscles in the men of our college class who practice daily at the dumb-bells, and prefer unwieldy giants to smaller men with muscles less startling but far greater will-power to punish themselves in the contest? And when...
...fielding of the freshmen however was excellent, making as they did but four errors, the weak spot of the nine, being as in all other games, its battery. Kielty pitched and Vila caught for the first six innings when Sabine and Slade took their places. The battery errors cost Ninety the game, letting in, as they did, several runs. Kielty and Sabine are both wild, and neither Vila nor Slade are effective back stops; the former is perhaps the least steady, dropping the ball, as he does, at critical moments. The best batting for Eighty-seven was done by Powers...
...remarkable attack in your yesterday's issue. The amount of money subscribed to the nine is about the same as was subscribed last year. The amount collected is considerably less. The amount of gate money at the Yale game was small on account of the threatening weather. The cost of uniforms per man was slightly less than that of '89's uniforms. Whatever is absolutely necessary for the needs of the nine is procured at once. This is the purpose for which the money was collected. Not a cent has been spent on the pleasure...
...recent defeat. Yesterday morning a communication appeared in our columns which bewailed the reckless expenditures by the base-ball management of the funds subscribed by the freshman class for the support of its team. It seems rather small for any one to begrudge a suit, even though it does cost thirty-four dollars, to the nine, and its six substitutes, that have borne their defeat with such a manly spirit and are working so hard to retrieve their past misfortune. When we look to see the men despondent and careless they are cheerful and are working earnestly and faithfully. Surely...
...ornament and a pride to future generations. It should be sufficiently high to allow the passage of tugs and barges underneath. It should have some memorials of illustrious men and great events - a statue of John Harvard, an arch to Wendell Phillips, or a tower to Longfellow. The estimated cost of the present plan is $416,000. A suitable bridge would cost a million more, but a mean structure is the worst extravagance, and the extra money could easily be obtained by appropriations and subscriptions. The wealthy residents of the Back Bay, the land companies and the horse-railway companies...
