...University baseball squad was given batting practice, for the last time under Keeler's coaching, in the cage on Saturday afternoon. The work was disappointing--the men still showing a tendency to step away from the ball, to use their bodies too little in swinging, and to strike at wide balls. The outfielders practiced for a short while out of doors, and the infielders were given practice in stopping grounders in the cage.

Now, it is not possible, with a little outlay, to use the other side of the Gymnasium fence for handball courts, or, if this is not feasible, would it not pay to build extra courts in some unoccupied part of Holmes Field...

The shell will be sixty feet long, as against sixty-three feet, the length of last year's shell; its beam will measure twenty-three inches; its depth will be nine and three-quarters inches, and it will weigh 250 pounds. The shell is of Spanish cedar and is fuller forward on the gunwale than the last boat. It will be filled out on the beam to make up for the decrease in its length...
