...there are no amateur clubs in our immediate neighborhood, it would seem almost inevitable that our nine, of which we have justly been so proud, should fall rapidly from its high position, all for want of practice.

In the case of a paper published at a college where little or no attention is given to athletics, it would be unwise to devote any considerable space to records of sports; but in a college where all kinds of athletics find encouragement the students rightly demand that their papers shall give a large share of attention to this much-abused department...
