Each one of our great rivals has this privilege and makes use of it to the utmost; and the benefit which they derive from these games is shown immediately by the marked improvement in their playing. It is a well-known fact that one can acquire more good and get more practice when one is beaten than when one is victorious.

Also, those graduates most interested in base-ball, whose opinions and advice have been freely sought by the management, and have proved of the utmost value in this controversy, though they have been opposed to the new league, give assurances of their support to the management in the decision which they have deemed for the best interests of the University. A letter has been received from the most influential of those in New York...
