...steady, dropping the ball, as he does, at critical moments. The best batting for Eighty-seven was done by Powers who made three hits with a total of seven. Manly, Coolidge and Dudley also batted well. For Ninety, Piper who made four hits with a total of six batted hardest; Young, Slade, and Codman also made some clever hits. The best fielding for the seniors was done by Coolidge, Allen and Bisbee; Litchfield also made some pretty one-hand stops. For Ninety Young and McLeod did the best work in the field. Slade and Vila both played a steady game...
...order to do anything at all with Yale, the hardest work is required. Thus far, in practice, their work has not been such as would warrant any high expectations of victory. It has been fairly good; but when one has said that, he has said all that can be said in their praise. Their batting is poor and this defect can be overcome only by constant practice. Their fielding has been good and this partially makes up for the lack of strong batsmen on the nine. '90 has a captain of experience and ability who will bring victory...
...should surpass all others. The lens for that telescope is now completed, having the unparalleled aperture of 36 inches. An observatory has been build upon Mount Hamilton near San Jose, at an altitude of over 4000 feet, to form a suitable site for which 40,000 tons of the hardest granite had to be removed. The lens will rest upon silver supports in an iron box until the steel dome and the mountings are finished. It is expected that everything will be perfected by next September, when the building and contents will be given into the care of the University...
...success on the diamond this year are very slight indeed. With five vacant places to fill the outlook is not very encouraging. Our greatest rivals, Yale and Princeton, have also suffered in this way, but not nearly as much as Harvard has. It is only by the very hardest work that we can hope for any degree of success whatever. Captain Willard we are sure will do all he can but he is laboring under great disadvantages, having so much raw material and being without the incentive of a victorious nine behind him. If the nine is to make...
...seems to us that Yale has the hardest victory to win, as well as the one most worth the winning. Yale was founded in a spirit of religious sectarianism, if not intollerance, and it must be difficult for her to meet even half way the growing need of American collegiate life, chief among which, of course, is freedom of religious thought. But the demand must be met, or the college must acknowledge herself defeated. This, we are sure, will not be permitted by her undergraduate spirit of pluck and pride...
