...practice shoot was held at the grounds yesterday afternoon, and some very good scores were made. The attendance, however, was small, and if more interest is not shown the team will have a poor chance of winning the spring match. Yale and University of Pennsylvania have accepted the challenge, and it is hoped that Princeton will also do so. The team is not finally chosen till a week before the match, and every one has a chance for a place. Cups are shot for twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays, at the club grounds, and matches will be shot with...
...would be hard to surpass yesterday's game as a combination of hard hitting and poor fielding. Last year the first game between the two nines with the same pitchers in the box was very close, four to three and a crowd of some five hundred students turned out in expectation of another good game. All hopes for such a contest were destroyed in the first inning when, after two men out, Harvard made four hits one of them a three-bagger, and aided by a few timely errors, rolled up six runs. From that point on all uncertainty...
...sincerely hope there will be a goodly crowd of freshmen to accompany their nine to Princeton. It will show a very poor spirit if there are not any men who have enough class feeling to do this. There is a chance, however, for Ninety-six to show the college that it has the welfare of its team at heart; that it does posses some real spirit and enthusiasm. A book has been left at Leavitt & Peirce's and in interest of the success of the nine, we strongly urge as many men as possible to enter their names and make...
...bunt and the other two on strikes. Abbott did some great work at the bat, making three hits in his four chances. Trafford also found the ball surprisingly well. The nine fielded almost perfectly, the one error being made in the ninth with two men already retired. There was poor judgment, however shown in the base running and at least one run was lost by stupid coaching. The play by which Hovey was put out at third was far from complimentary to the nine...
...weak religion. Men often find themselves unable, after a few weeks of college life, to believe as they used to; but there is no harm in this. A man should be encouraged to think of Christianity; for it is not worth thinking of, it can be but a poor thing. Again, many think Christianity dull; but this is not true in fact or in theory. Not only is it most interesting in itself, but theoretically its chief end is to cure dullness. It is the lack of Christianity which makes a life dull...
