...whole, a decided improvement over the form shown of late. The team got together much better at the bat than in the Tufts game, and in fielding accepted the comparatively few chances offered them with commendable accuracy.

Entirely optional subscriptions are inevitably hard to start even when they call for small contributions, since the individual donation seems to play so unimportant a part in the final whole. The success of such subscriptions naturally lies with the spirit of the community in which they are started.

Some changes were made in the order of the crew which is at present boated in this order...
