...complaints which are constantly being received show too plainly that the desired end has not been reached. Some fruiting blows have recently been dealt to the tennis interest ; the severest being the reduction in the number of available courts caused by the construction of the new track and diamond on Holmes field. The defeat too of our representatives at Hartford cannot fail to produce a depressing effect. If, then, this sport, on which so many undergraduates depend for the principal means of exercise, is to be maintained in our midst, every facility for its pursuit must be afforded. We therefore...
...congratulate the baseball association on their present firm financial standing. Never before has it been able to start a new year with such a large account to its credit. Heavy expenses were incurred to put Holmes Field in condition for matches, but the new diamond seems to have had superior attractions for drawing a crowd, and in consequence the half dollars have rolled by thousands into the treasury. The financial ability to do what is necessary for the nine removes a great load from the management and ought to enable them to arrange practice games with the very best clubs...

Botany appears to supersede all other field sports, and has prevailed to such an alarming extent of late, that the faculty are said to have thoughts of prohibiting its practice within certain limits of the college, that the grass may have a chance to grow. The college grounds far exceed those...
...second base and right field. F. Coolidge caught this in fine style, but in his haste to catch Sprague on first base, made a very wild throw, which went way back to the seats and gave Sprague third base. Tilden ran after the ball and threw wildly into the diamond, giving Yale their only run. Gordon was fielded out very prettily by Potter to Cowling, and Goodwin fouled...
