...different candidates could be formed. The nine got upon the field about three weeks ago and have practised steadily since. The number of candidates has been unusually large, but the standard has not been as high as that of former years. Captain Bates has found it extremely difficult to choose his team from the material at hand. With the exception of the first-year men on the 'Varsity, who are eligible to play with the freshmen, there are no particularly good men. The candidates for the different positions are as follows...
...Harvard Union is not credited by all as being an enterprising association. At what time and in what manner this rumor arose it is difficult to state, but it is sufficient to call attention to the subject for this evening's debate to refute any ill founded remarks on the lack of enterprisc.

As we are about to leave we cannot help but think of the heroic conduct and self-denial of those...
...Codman, '90. The ground was not in the best condition, being damp and soggy, but this did not interfere materially with the work of the men. The out-fielders, Linn and Codman, showed up very well. On the whole it looks as though the nine would not find it difficult to get into shape after a very little practice. Phillips, captain of the eighty-six nine, was present, and watched the work of the candidates with interest. The men were out about an hour and three quarters. Bates, '91, pitched to one net for a half hour...
