...dimensions of the case may seem larger than is required; but allowance has been made for future additions, which we trust may never be wanting. Besides, it is intended to make the collection a complete one of the balls we have won by the University Nine since its organization in 1865. Second-hand balls will be purchased to take the places of those lost or not kept, fifty in all. These will be painted, and lettered with the name of the defeated club, score and date.
