This afternoon the University tennis team will meet Princeton at Princeton in its first intercollegiate match of the season. During the week there have been elimination trials to test the ability of the new men, but the strength of the team as a whole is yet untried. The following men will compose the team and will play in the order named: N. W. Niles '09, captain, A. Sweetser '11, G. C. Adams '10, F. Cutting '09, F. H. Burr '09, and E. L. Beard...
...University team stands very much in need of the experience that this game will afford, as only three others remain before the Princeton series. There has as yet been almost no opportunity to try out the infield in a game. Injury or illness has prevented its playing together in any settled order. Moreover, in the Virginia game, when it was nearest intact, there were few chances for fielding and no work with men on bases. This week the cold and rainy weather games and warm weather are badly needed during the next two weeks...
...lukewarm editorial, a half-baked leading article, three uneven experiments in verse, and four ingenious, trivial stories--the answer, we trust is not too obviously: Advocate. And yet some such formula as this, it seems, would frequently apply. The current issue, at any rate, is not above mediocrity. Not that the contributors always lack ideas; in two cases at least subjects of importance are broached, on which undergraduate opinion just now is desirable. The real trouble seems to be that the work is not carefully thought to or logically arranged, and that the product of an idle moment as allowed...
...Bates this afternoon at 4 o'clock on Soldiers Field in the first home game of the season. Either Hicks or Davis will pitch. The rest of the team will be the same as in the Georgetown game, with Marshall at shortstop in place of Simons, who has not yet sufficiently recovered from his illness. Crocker will probably start at second base, although MacLaughlin may be allowed to play for a while...
...baseball players of today a more finished article than the famous old star players of yesterday? Anson, Ferguson, Stovey, Rowe, White, Brouthers, Thompson, and Sunday were once the idols of the fans, yet the player on the big teams of today can show even cleaner fielding averages. Why? you ask. Just compare the 1908 scores with those of even ten years ago. Games are won on closer margins, fewer hits and less errors. Better fielding tells the story...
