...arranging for the scrub ball nines have so far proved very gratifying to the management, as the names of twelve nines have been handed in, as follows: "The Good Shepherds," J. N. Sherburne '99, captain; "The Farmers," H. R. Scott '97; "The Pearlines," P. H. Cook '99; "The Peevish Ice-Cutters," P. Palmer '98; "The Little Egypts," M. E. Gibbey '98; "The Cold Hands," A. R.

It may be further remarked that this inoffensive "professor" is paid by Mr. Hemenway, and it would seem more fitting to thank the donor of the Gymnasium for his continued generosity, than to whine like a peevish child who is not allowed to break its new plaything. The unfortunate "muckers" who come in for so much blame were introduced at the urgent request of students, and have certainly proved a great convenience.
