...last two class matches. These games may not be worth winning in the estimation of the freshmen, but at all events they afford practice, and should be played with nearly as much care as a championship game, especially as tomorrow the freshman are to meet Yale on her own ground. It is too late now to advise; we can only hope that the poor practice the freshmen have lately indulged in may not injure their chances in to-morrow's game...
...corporation have refused the petition in behalf of the preservation of the old "fence" which was signed by nearly two thousand of the alumni.

...short time ago there appear in our columns a communication in which the writer complained of the prices charged by the Tennis Association for the use of the courts. It really does seem strange, that while the college grants ground to the other associations free of charge, it should levy a tax upon the tennis players. The cost of keeping the tennis courts and nets in order is not such an overwhelming burden for the college to bear. And there is a very large number of men to whom the tax of ten to twenty cents...
