...Filed, at 4 o'clock. The team has not been showing up well of late, as it has only practiced on the diamond twice, and as several of the men have been laid up with sickness. Since the competition for many of the position has been extremely close, no doubt a number of substitutions will be made. Following is the Freshman line-up: 1.f., Alsop; 2b., Winsor; r.f., Gannett; s.s., Hardwick; c.f., Brickley; 1b., Packard; 3b., Phillips; c., Wharton, Choate; p., Frye, Caldwell, Wright...
...chance half-dozen, and only four of them answered, "I don't know," and our pride limped away. Now perhaps this is not a fair question; perhaps, however, Mr. Johnson speaks the truth.

No doubt this impression is strengthened by the acting, here the least successful of any of the evening. The characters speak words that attest to their horror, but their aspect conveys no sense of feeling whatever. Mr. Lyding was in manner and appearance admirable as the father; but his contempt for lines...
...Almost 50 per cent. have failed. That these oral examinations easily penetrate, so to speak, the weak points in the Freshman academic armor, is all too evident. This deplorable record is the best proof of the wisdom in the provision of such tests. And that seems to be little doubt that, now that this noticeable deficiency either in the preparatory school training or in the elementary Modern Language courses has been detected, the proper remedy can and will be applied...
