...better men than ours, have a degree of confidence in themselves, a determination not to be disconcerted whatever happens, begotten by many hard games, which serve them most advantageously when they are in a tight place. With the stringent policy of our faculty concerning base-ball it would seem to be impossible for our nine to get practice of the kind which can only be obtained by matches with strong clubs...

Bravely assuming his heavy task, he urges on his faltering steps in an almost vain endeavor to drag a cumbersome snowplow through the mighty drifts. Spavined, aged, Lame, his case would surely seem to be one to provoke the pity and interference, if not of the college officers, then of some of the numerous societies formed for the protection of such as he. We will say nothing of the rumor that this animal, together with his companion in arms of apparently similar...
