...response to the call for candidates for the Sophomores team, only eight men turned out yesterday afternoon for the first day's practice. The work consisted in running and falling on the ball under the direction of R. D. Pruyn '02, and Captain Wendell. As most of last year's team are now playing on the 'Varsity squad, the eleven this year will probably be made up largely of new material. Every '02 man, who is physically able, is urged, therefore, to come out for practice this afternoon...
...large number of new men were present at the first meeting of the Chess Club last evening. Inasmuch as several of last year's most prominent players will not take an active part in the work of the organization this year, it is necessary that the vacancies be filled by new men. The preliminary tournament will begin next week. Blue-books have been placed at Leavitt's and at Sanborn's where entries may be made by any member of the University wishing to compete. Entries will close...
...complete installment of that system in all four classes, the usefulness of the University Debating Club as an organization to carry on weekly debates has been diminished to a minimum.

On Webb's wild pass for a kick the ball rolled over the line and Upton was forced to make a safety. Twice again Harvard seemed about to score, when off-side play gave the ball to Bowdoin...
About sixty men came out for baseball practice yesterday. The preliminary work was much the same as that of the day before, but after a little warming up the men were divided into different nines. Three two-inning games were played. The play was sharp and spirited, and while the batting was very weak, the fielding was excellent. Of the pitchers, P. N. Coburn '02, made the best showing. He had speed and very fair control, striking out men in every inning which he pitched. Of the new men, F. Jacques '03, caught well behind the bat, and made...
