...freshmen have enough energy to take a big "brace" in the next three days. If the '94 nine shows that this confidence has been misplaced, it will have succeeded in bringing disgrace upon itself. The college will not endure to see a team lose a game simply from lack of earnest and well-directed effort...
...game was long and dull and poorly played by both sides. Each class had a band, while firecrackers and cheering enlivened the afternoon and gave vent to the enthusiasm. Dickinson played first in his usual good style and made a pretty home run in the eighth inning. The lack of two umpires was very much felt. There was a good deal of batting and the freshmen ran bases well. Gilmore's arm prevented him from throwing to bases, and this handicapped the sophomore nine considerably. Merriam's poor judgment added to bad coaching was rather disastrous to his team...
...lamentably weak work of the freshman nine last Monday seemed to the spectators largely due to its lack of team work. Such a defect is always to be found in freshman base ball teams, but in Ninety-four it seems to be exaggerated.

The managers of the Navy feel great anxiety, for the 'varsity men have been exposed as well as the freshman candidates, and any man who has an attack of scarlet fever at this time...
Together with the rapid growth of the college in late years has come the need of more opportunity for instruction. Owing to the lack of suitable rooms and other causes the faculty has found itself much cramped in its work. The faculty decided, therefore, something like a year ago, to furnish the extra instruction which has been needed; and to that end, voted to establish a new group of studies in the list: in other words, to put in another hour of recitations. This new hour will begin next fall; it must somehow be squeezed into our already crowded...
