...foot-ball team were presented only a few weeks ago. There can be no excuse on the score of engraving, for this is either unaffected by the outcome of the event, or is done after the cup is received by the winner. The matter may seem of trifling importance, but every one will acknowledge that there is little pleasure in receiving a prize after the memory of the event has all but faded...
...annoyance to arise from the investigation that will follow, both to him and the instructor, is almost irresistible. However, with a severe effort, we manage to control our mirth. If the authors of such tricks are freshmen there is possibly some excuse for them, though it would seem that six months at college ought to be enough to teach most men to suppress the school-boy exuberance of spirits known as "freshness." If the offenders are upper-classmen, we can only feel sorry that men have to exist whose intellects are feeble enough to find enjoyment in such juvenile tricks...

All of last year's twelve are in college now with the exception of Cap tain Riggs, '87, and the team will probably be the same as last year, with the additional experience of one year's play. In base-ball our prospects seem to be fairly good, and Captain Wagehurst has his men hard at work in the cage daily. There are three batteries at work, and Boynson of the Athletics, is coaching them daily. Mercur, '88, and King, '89, will probably be pitchers, but it is impossible to predict who will catch, though...
