Eighty-eight and Ninety played a close though uninteresting game on Holmes Field yesterday. Ninety scored four runs in the first inning on hits by Slade, Sabine and McLeod. After this they could not seem to bunch their hits and so lost. Eighty-eight played a good fielding game and Austin pitched finely striking out men at critical points. Mr. Abbott, L.

It seems to be a rule among press reporters, whenever they can make out a story which will injure college men, that it is their duty to do so, and they follow the paths of their so-called duty with a ghoulish glee that is positively sickening. There are certain papers...
