During the coming season, then, an earnest and decided move should be made toward the permanent and effective establishment of class nines. Our ball players ought not to shrink from the task because it requires a certain amount of time and trouble. If the rowing men in the classes are willing to undergo two months of monotonous gymnasium training, work on the river in all sorts of weather, and make other equally great sacrifices for the sake of their class and the prospects of the university crew, surely it is not asking too much of our base-ball players...
