...university played a game on Holmes yesterday afternoon with a team made up with two exceptions of men who played on the university team in 1885. The '85 men were so out of practice that the game did not help the regular team as much as it was expected it would. They will, however, be able to give a valuable criticism of the nine. The Eighty-five men appeared astonished at their poor game. The university team played listlessly. McLeod pitched, and, except for his slowness, did fairly well. The outfield had two chances which Linn accepted...

...winning on the part of the whole college that must well make the graduates of '83 and '84 feel ashamed for us. Discouragement is in the very air. Not among the teams, but on the part of the students, yet their apathy affects the athletic men, it can not help but do so.
