All our other athletic teams that use the name of their college go into regular practice and training, but the cricket eleven, although a desultory sort of practice is kept up, makes no pretense to keeping those rules and observances which the nine, the crew, or the lacrosse twelve consider as an absolute necessity for victory.

Owing to the shortness of the time, and the number of persons concerned, the instructors cannot undertake to correct any mistakes as to these matters. Especial care should therefore be taken to conform to the foregoing rules...
