...this feeling, and not the fear of punishment, that prevents sophomores to-day from reviving this custom of the past. But in any case the influence resulting from hazing could not be worse than that from "Bloody Monday." The scenes that follow the punches gives the freshman the worst possible impression of the life he is about to enter, and his first impressions are sure to be his strongest ones.

The visiting team presented a set of men whose playing perhaps equalled, but did not excel that of youths of ten summers. There was no redeeming feature to their play but the work of the pitcher, who was debarred from swift pitching by the lack of a catcher. 90's change battery, Kielty and Vaughn, was put in. Kielty is a promising pitcher, but is a trifle wild. The battery, on the whole, did good work...
