...numbers, Ninety-two will have a strong nine. Twenty-five men signified their desire of training for the team at once, and this number is very likely to be increased towards spring. All these men are fairly familiar with the game, but it remains to be seen whether there are among them more than the usual proportion of good players. The training at present will consist of light work in the gymnasium on the chest-weights and with dumb-bells, but it will be impossible to do any heavy work in the cage on account of the conflict made with...
About twenty-five candidates for the university nine attended the meeting in Captain Willard's room last evening. Of last year's nine only four are now in college. They are Willard, first base; Henshaw, catcher; Howland, right field, and Quackenboss, third base. It is doubtful whether Quackenboss will play this year.

His plea in self-defense is an able presentation of his side of the case; but it is still doubtful whether it can be justified. The book is will worth a careful examination...
...university they may be, who seem to be at all fitted for a position on next year's eleven. The men are under the command of ex-Captain Sears, who will also watch the candidates carefully. Everyone who considers himself at all likely to be able to play football, whether he has played before or not, is expected to join this squad. The work will not be too vigorous-no more than everyone would do of his own accord. The squad will meet dressed and ready for exercise at 4.15 every afternoon. The men will go through dumb-bell...
