...much worse is the state of affairs today. Holmes is reduced to a single field where only one team can play, with a very few courts on its out-skirts in place of the thirty or forty courts and three fields there before. Then, too, when the new arrangement is complete, the University nine will have the exclusive use of Holmes field, the lacrosse twelve the east end of Jarvis field, the cricket eleven the west end, and tennis courts the centre. Where are the freshmen to practice in the spring and fall? What will the tennis men do with...
...possible to engage in sport for but a limited part of the day. This makes it necessary to have the grounds much larger than if they could be used in rotation by the students. Should Harvard expect to find sufficient room to exercise her hundreds of undergraduates in on fields no larger than are owned by many colleges less than half her size? More grounds must be bought if Harvard is to maintain her general interest in athletics. Moreover, this land should be determined on and bought at once, as the price of real estate in Cambridge is rising...
...Princeton University ball nine was selected on Saturday as follows: J. M. Harlan, '84, pitcher; A. Moffatt, '84, catcher; D. Edwards, '85, first base; T. C. Cooper, '86, second base; L. A. Vaneltin, '87, third base; C. Vanansdale, '85, short-stop; C. S. Clark, '85, left field; captain E. E. S. Belknap, '84, centre field; G. C. Reynolds, '86, right field. This team is subject to change as the season progresses. A consolidated nine is to be formed from which the university substitutes are to be chosen...
...Thursday-Fast Day-the Harvard base-ball season for 1884 opens. Our nine will play the Beacons. It is hoped that all the men in Cambridge on that day will be present on Jarvis field to encourage the nine in this, their first game of the spring series. We print the names of the players in another column...
Yesterday's weather was but an example of the difficulty under which our athletic teams labor in obtaining early out-of-door practice. The majority of our college rivals have already had field practice for a fortnight or more, while we here at Cambridge have not only been unable to secure any reasonable amount of open-air work as yet, but must, it would seem, be even now in uncertainty as to whether we are to get fairly to work during this week. Of course, the obvious result of this hindrance will be to enforce increased activity in practice when...
