...hall, are more than a block away. To chapel from Beck Hall is fully four. When a man in Little's Block wishes to exercise, he walks a quarter of a mile to the gymnasium, and if it is summer, a half mile to the tennis courts on Jarvis field. Of all the dormitories Thayer Hall is the most centrally located. From it are the shortest distances to Appleton Chapel, Memorial Hall, and Sever. It is close to the University, and only a block from the library. It is only furthest from the square and from Dane Hall...
...ably filled last year. Hopkins, '84, will play third base. The position of short stop is still open, as Griggs was graduated with '83; for this position there are several candidates, Oliver, '87, and Bayne, '87, being the most promising. Carpenter has left college, which leaves left field open. Brigham, '86, and Sheppard, '87, are candidates for this position. McKee, '84, will play this old position in right field. Young, '87, a very promising man, is a candidate for third base. Centre field will probably be filled by one of the change "battery," and from present prospects the nine promises...

The attempt at inter-collegiate faculty regulation of athletics thus it would seem has signally failed. The Harvard faculty has blindly followed this ignis fatuus until...
...course of a few weeks the nine will go into the field, and during the month of April will play all the games possible before the championship series begin. The candidates have been working hard all winter, and a decided improvement has been shown in the batting over that of last year. Nichols and Allen, and Winslow and Crocker have been playing together and both "batteries" are working well. It is rather early to select the nine, but it will probably be the same as that of last year. Smith has shown great improvement in the "cage" in his batting...
Since some very worthy people who believe in manly sports object to young men playing for money taken at the exhibition games, it is necessary to say a word of explanation with regard to this feature of all ball-games. If field athletics are to continue, the expense of them must be met in one of two ways, either by gate-money or by subscription. Most young men prefer to give their money at the gate, and thus to pay for what they see. If a club knows that it is to spend only what it earns, it will...
