...first day of practice. Each man is given six grounders to field and throw to first; this is followed by practice in quick starting and sliding. Then the squad is taken at a sharp run round to the Gymnasium by way of North Avenue, where they are put through dumb bell exercises. As a whole the squad, which now numbers about 35, has showed marked improvement; the men are not so awkward in sliding as at first, although they are still very slow at starting.

Another announcement made by the Faculty just before the examinations was to the effect that no man who is dropped from his class will be allowed to play on the 'varsity teams for a year thereafter.
