Only a short, desultory practice was indulged in yesterday as the weather was damp and cold. The ground was in very fair condition and showed the effect of careful attention during the summer. It is too soon yet to know whether there is any base-ball talent in '91, and it may be well to say here that every freshman who has played ball to any extent, should take the first opportunity of going to the field and practicing with the rest of the candidates. Rumor says that there are several very good players in the incoming class...
...system upon which the society is to be conducted was adopted last spring almost unanimously and having the support of all the officers, who know best the best interests of the society, it ought to prove an advantage to all those who do business at the store in Dane Hall. We extend our best wishes to the continued good for tune of this institution...
...early to know precisely the size of our freshman class, still we may venture to say that it will have to be abnormally large to compare with the size of the freshman classes at Yale and Cornell, which number respectively three hundred and four and three hundred and fifty-one students.

The eel-grass certainly was having an effect which urged Harvard on to greater efforts. To those who have never seen the course, it may be of interest to know that it is not eel-grass itself that causes all the trouble. The grass does not get caught in the oars and clog the course of the boat, but it deadens the water, making the tide much weaker than it is in the west side in the channel...
