...great baseball game of the year is to be played this afternoon on Holmes Field. To the average student this game means more than almost any other contest of the year. Our Nine has proved that it can play good ball, and we expect it to win the game for us today. Every man on the Nine must go on to the field with a fixed determination to come out ahead, whatever happens, and must remember that his victory means everything to his fellow students.

...thing that should be impressed upon the Seniors concerning the coming Class Day, and that is the necessity of going in the scrimmage about the Tree. This is a very old and a very good custom. Members of the graduating class who are physically able to join in the contest should feel it a privilege to join around the Tree in the battle for the flowers, and an honor to carry away these trophies. Of late years too many men have thought it easier to go to the Tree with their friends and watch the scrimmage from a comfortable place...
