...Mandolin Club will play at Mrs. Wesselhoft's girls' school next month...
...dates have as yet been made with professional nines, though several are under negotiation. Captain Willard proposes to play three or four games of this sort on a projected trip to take place during the April vacation. If satisfactory arrangements can be made, there will be, in all probability, nine or ten games with professional clubs during the season. As there is no New England League of professional teams this year, our opponents will necessarily be drawn entirely from the league nines.

We must also congratulate Harvard on the abrogation of this rule that has for some time past sadly hampered captains of their teams in the attempt to secure practice games with nines of sufficient strength. The employment of professional trainers...
