...York State College-championship tourney appears, from all accounts, to be a very discreditably conducted contest; for, while the Cornell University club has been playing legitimately, the Hamilton and Union College club teams, as well as that of Hobart College, employ professionals to help them win, and the Rochester University club goes outside of the institution for players. On May 22, Manager Bering of Cornell, made an affidavit, and the University Registrar signed certificate, that all the members of the Cornell nine are regular college students. Hamilton College and Union College both advertised for professionals in the New York papers...

...four. The play throughout was good and at times brilliant. the game itself is very exciting.

...hope that this summary of Yale's work will help our freshmen to renew their energies on the ball field. Nor should the nine work alone. All the freshmen interested in their progress and ultimate success should spare as much time as possible to go out on Jarvis and watch their classmates at work. Encouragement is what is wanted, and it can be given in no better way than by watching the nine practice. Each player is more likely to do better and play sharper if he knows that he is watched by the critical eyes of a number...
