...batting, fielding and base running, but the score of 13 to 2 was needlessly large, and had the freshmen put up even their average game they could have made the contest much closer.

Using mirrors to throw the sunlight into the players' eyes, a practice which was fortunately stopped after the first few innings, is going decidedly too far. The teams, we repeat, should not be physically prevented from playing their best...
