The training which such work gives, is not merely of use to those who intend to take up journalism, but is of great value to a man while he is still in college. It gives a certain insight into the workings of the college which he would otherwise know little about, and also throws a man into contact with interesting people and varied aspects of college life.

...college. The practice games with the teams from other colleges, not only give the nine the kind of work which they most need, but give also some grounds on which to estimate the true value of the nine. By watching these practice games closely, and by comparing scores, a certain amount of accurate prognostication can be made about the team. And there is nothing that helps a team more than to feel that an interest is being taken in them. It is possible to play for the mere purpose of beating, but it is ever so much easier to play...
