...training are: Phelps, P. G.; Walker, '88; Calhoun, '89; Lindsey, '89; Francke. '89; Day, '89; S.; Wilson, '89 S.; McBride, '90; Dalzell, '91; Dickermann, '91; McClintock, '91; Poole, '91, and Root, '91. The majority of these are good all-round players, and have no remarkable ability in any direction. Walker has played on his class team for three years and is a hard player but he has not developed university abilities. Francke was a member of '89's team which is famous for having lost the "fence game" and played right field. He is not a very sure...
...Pool, Root and Dickerman played more or less last fall in practise games. Dickerman is a fair fielder, but is not at home in any other place, while Poole and Root can fill any one of the positions outside the battery equally well. A great deal has been said about Dalzell, '91, and he has been cracked up as a wonderful pitcher. Yale's laurels would not, however, be very safe in his hands.

...action of the Dining Association in having a news stand put in Memorial Hall is to be commended. This has been advised in our columns from time to time and we are glad that at last our words have taken root. The nuisance which the small vendors of the Boston dailies create about the steps of Memorial and the chapel, is no little matter, and their dismissal will be hailed by all as a great boon. It may be hard on the boys, but their noise and squabbles are the cause. In this as in other things the innocent must...
...communication from "Thorg" in yesterday's issue gave its readers to understand that the evils of Harvard life lying in the social root were ineradicable because of our proximity to a large city. This idea is unique, and, we believe, has never been advanced before; but it is not the relty of the statement, but the absuldity contained in it, which we wish to consider. To say that there is no remedy for the snobbishness manifest in so much of our life here is to admit more than any one ought who feels that he has life and vigor...
