...already exhausted on this topic. The playing of college men with professional teams, although excellent practice, as it teaches them to be cool, to eatch surely and to use their heads, is not absolutely necessary to produce a fine playing nine. Now throwing and catching the ball and good field work may be admirably practised among amateurs without any outside aid, as last years college base-ball record shows, but batting and making safe hits is quite another thing and it is here that professional aid always tells. It is absurd to believe that the practice given to batsmen...
...clean off. "I want you to apologise to this man," says the Yale captain, in a huff with the pitcher. "Certainly," says the pitcher, as he expresses his sympathy, and good feeling is restored. In this inning Yale scored one run on a terrific hit which took centre-field off his feet and dashed him against the bars of the grand stand. This was the most beautiful hit of the game.

Wheeler, Marble and Sullivan are new men. Hunt was catcher last year, now he takes...
...covers has sprung up. The idea of a decorative cover for a college paper originated with the Lampoon; and the laughing knight on his winged horse has long been a familiar object among the host of college exchanges. For many volumes this hardy pioneer was alone in this untried field, nor did it seem as if any other college would dare follow his lead. The papers continued to come out in their sober coats of black and white. A simple heading of large type, in most cases, followed by an unattractive and disorderly column of hatters' and clothiers' advertisements formed...

McCann; secretary and treasurer, Herbert D. Allen; field captain Harry B. Hook; executive committee, the above and Messrs. John J. Hern, Harry J. Clacey and Alfred Christiansen...
