...prominent preparatory schools of New England, notably those at Andover and Exeter, are agitating the question of forming an "Interscholastic Base-Ball League." The league is designed to include Phillips, Exeter, Phillips Andover, St. Pauls, St. Marks, and Adams Academies and the Boston Latin School. To those interested in base-ball in the colleges, no move could be more welcome than this; for it would mean a redoubled interest in base-ball for the preparatory schools, which would necessarily result in an excellence hitherto unknown. A systematic schedule of games, and a friendly rivalry for the base-ball championship...
...eighty-nine to the importance of furnishing a full field of entries for all the events on the programme. It has become the custom of the college to watch closely the result of these freshman field sports.

The most prominent gentlemen in their several departments are lending their best efforts...
...date of the fall tennis tournament has at last been fixed. We hope that this tournament will not be a repetition of that of last year, as no one can take any interest in a contest that drags on for two or three weeks. We have been assured by some of the directors that the whole thing can be finished in about three days if the play is brisk. While this is almost too much to hope for, we do think that a week ought to be sufficient; but this rests entirely with the students, and they should remember, that...
