...unfortunate feature of the class game Friday was the coaching by some members of the freshman team, which amounted to nothing more than an unfair attempt to rattle their opponents. These men must learn that such tricks as coaching the players of the other side to make collisions, or standing by the third baseman and trying to rattle him when he is after a difficult foul, or calling to any one but a base runner, are in accordance neither with the rules of the game nor with the tastes of the college spectators. It is well to play ball...
...complaint published yesterday about the H. A. A. prizes is only one of many which have been received this year. We learn that the subject is being investigated by the management of the H. A. A.

It is fortunate that the temporary disagreement with the Yale committee was not so serious as to check all action. The decision reached on Saturday will secure consideration of the subject...
...Smith thought this idea is being gradually eradicated, for the ideal merchant of the present times must be an educated man in order to keep up with the times. Integrity is of course absolutely essential to a business man. The speaker said too that every young man should learn to speak French and German if he wished to have the best chance of succeeding, and the Spanish language must be regarded as of increasing importance in mercantile affairs; for over half of the western merchants are Germans, and the salesman who can speak German has a great advantage...
