...only four gentlemen were present, they adjourned. The general lack of interest evinced by the small attendance at this meeting has compelled the Seniors to abandon the project of competing for the prize. Eighty-one from the beginning has shown great enthusiasm. They began practice a week ago with fifteen men. This number has increased daily, till there are at present twenty-three men trying. A fair estimate of the prospects of the Nine may be obtained from the following list of candidates: Coolidge and Folsom of the University; Barton, Elliott, Fisher, and Sanger, of the '81 Freshman nine; Berry...
...first bout of the Light Weight Sparring came next, and brought out Messrs. J. J. Thomsen, '80, and G. H. Heilbron, '83, the latter the captain of the Freshman Nine.

The opinions of all who have had any dealings with her are identical, and we are sorry that it is not better. . . . The attempt to lay everything to the fact of playing with fifteen instead of eleven is decidedly weak. It seems queer that it happens only when the Yale fifteen are concerned. It does not lie in the number, but in the men themselves. It requires only a little common-sense to see this. Eleven men could make the game fully as unpleasant...
