...form a correct judgment about the Nine, Wednesday's game with the Beacons being such an improvement on the disgraceful exhibitions at New Bedford and Boston. The weakest point seems to be the batting, only one base-hit being made in the whole game, and many of the men seeming to be surprised into striking. Although we much admired the catcher's cool playing Wednesday, we doubt whether he has the requisite strength for the position; could not the catcher of the Beacons be induced to play? We also need at least one active man in the field who will...
...every undergraduate should have a chance to apply for every room not re-engaged. If, after their wants are satisfied, any rooms remain that are not disposed of, the sub-Freshmen should be allowed to draw for them; they should not be allowed to draw for rooms which many men in college would be glad to get.

The local editor says, among other things, "We believe that compulsory attendance at religious exercises, under any circumstances, is but a relic of the barbarous ages." We fully coincide with his opinion, and are agreeably disappointed to find such sentiments at Wesleyan...
...interest in athletics has indeed become great, and, in conjunction with rowing, bids fair to eclipse everything else at Harvard this year. Men are said to be training in unheard-of numbers, and the future of athletics here (until the craze dies out in, say, ten months' time) looks bright indeed. Fast men we have at all distances and at all gaits, and to the mile-runners and mile-walkers, especially, a capital chance is given of winning both fame and valuable cups, As may be recollected, this column, last fall, offered two cups of $25 each...
