This view of the case seems to us to be the right one. While it is obviously absurd to attribute a great increase like that in the freshman class at Yale last fall solely to Yale's triumphs on the athletic field; yet it seems to us to be taking a one-sided view of the matter to declare that Yale's continued victories have no influence on the number of men who go to that college. True, this influence is only one of many; but where the other attractions would have no effect athletic victories...
...best players in college. He caught for the freshmen last year and played first some. He is a heavy man, has a sure eye and is a good thrower and hard hitter. He will undoubtedly be change catcher this year. Wilson, '89 S., played on his class nine last fall, he and Day being the battery. He is pretty light for a pitcher, but he has a good head and sharp curves. McClintock, '91, played in several scrub games last fall and also when Yale defeated the New York giants. He is an all-round player and will make...
Pool, Root and Dickerman played more or less last fall in practise games. Dickerman is a fair fielder, but is not at home in any other place, while Poole and Root can fill any one of the positions outside the battery equally well. A great deal has been said about Dalzell, '91, and he has been cracked up as a wonderful pitcher. Yale's laurels would not, however, be very safe in his hands. He is a fair pitcher, but not at all the phenomenal player he has been described. It is possible that he and Day will constitute...
There are quite a number of good players in college who are not practicing yet. Among these may be mentioned "Billy" Bull, full-back on the eleven last fall, who is as skillful a fielder as kicker. He played left field on his freshman team, and was one of the few good men on the '89 nine; McMillan, '89; Daval, Greer and G. Mason, '88, S., have all had more or less experience in college games and are fair players...
...they are differently arranged in the positions. There are five forwards, rushers as they are called in the college elevens, three half-backs, two backs, and one goal keeper. The construction of the goal posts is the same as you will see on Jarvis Field at Harvard in the fall, but to score in the Association game you must put the ball under the crossbar instead of over it, and touchdowns are not known...
