...play is not called before 4 o'clock, we would recommend to the captains of the different nines to agree upon six innings as the length of the game. If it were possible to begin before 4 o'clock, without inconveniencing anybody, this would doubtless be the better plan. The faculty, however, would not be likely to consent to such an arrangement, and even if they would it would not be expedient to break in upon the recitations of so many men. Immediate action should be taken upon the matter in order to insure perfect fairness, and at the same...
...plan that the managers of our base-ball interests have adopted of reestablishing the custom of class contests for the base ball championship of the college, is, we think, an excellent one. Besides the greater interest that will be stimulated in base ball generally by these games, they will be of great value in bringing out and testing the qualities of all players of ball in the college.

If this plan is carried, as we firmly believe it will be in the near future, we shall be much better off than formerly, and instead of giving way to the least doubt, our athletes can settle down to a thorough winter's training in the gymnasium preparatory to the field meetings...
Vigorous opposition is being made in Cambridge to any plan for fencing in Jarvis Field. The Cambridge Tribune says: "The college students desire to shut up Jarvis Field with a lofty fence so that they may realize more money by athletic exhibitions. As the border streets are narrow and the intended fences would stand close to the side-walks, the necessary effect would be to sadly injure the neighboring houses, to destroy their southern outlook, deprive them of most of their summer air and give a gloomy aspect to the lower front rooms; so that the taxes would have...
