...outlook for a strong base-ball team at Yale this season is far from promising. In fact, a scrutiny of the men who presented themselves last Saturday as candidates for the University nine, and a careful consideration of their known abilities, lead directly to the conclusion that Yale is short of good base-ball material. Compared with the college standard, there are only two first-class all round players - Stagg, '88, pitcher, and Cross, T.S., third base. The others can hardly be rated better than from medium to fairly good. The third best all round man is Noyes, '89 (short...
...Rourke of the New Yorks, who is in the Law School. Dann, the great back stop, is to try his hand at pitching, so that in the event of any accident to Stagg, the regular university pitcher, there will be some one to take his place. The outlook for next season is considered here to be very promising. Harvard, the only antagonist Yale really fears, is sadly cripled by the loss of her crack battery, and some of her heaviest batsmen, and it now looks to Yale men as though they would have a walkover...

Yale came very near wresting the cup from us last lear, and judging from the present outlook she will make the contest even closer this spring. The men who won prizes for Yale are almost, without exception, still in college; while we have lost Baker, the winner of the 220 yards dash; and Bradley, Chamberlain, Smith and Wheeler, winners of second prizes.

Although the outlook is not at all what it was at this time last year, we can at least hope for the best in spite of our bad prospects; last year we never expected anything else but success, and yet somehow we lost the championship at the last moment. This year when we have little reason to expect anything better than second place, fate should, by the same perverseness, give us the coveted pennant. At any rate the college will have in either case the satisfaction of knowing that nothing will be left undone...
...year; Knowlton, Harvard Medical School; Brainard and Aldrich will probably leave, while Hotchkiss is intending to enter Williams. Will Graves and Perrin of course will not come back, and there is a good chance of Haskell and Hamilton severing their connection with the school next summer. What a brilliant outlook we have for next fall...
