...losing a good many of its boating men, still "seventy-six" in all probability would have a crew on the river in the spring. As nearly every one of the speakers had alluded in one way or another to the "Ball Interest," Mr. N. W. Perry found the subject rather exhausted when he rose to respond to the toast. He recapitulated the record of the Nine, however, and said that he attributed the success of the Ball Nine to the great interest shown by the class in base-ball matters. To the toast of "Woman" the Toast-Master called...
