Last Saturday the Freshmen tied Yale in a game of fifteen hard-fought innings, the score ending 2 to 2. Since then the Freshmen have done well in practice, and should be in better shape than last week to put up a fast, hard game. McKay, who pitched the whole game at New Haven, will be in the box again today, while Yale will put in a new man, Hartwell. The Freshmen will have the advantage of playing on home grounds, and the game should be close. Positions in the batting orders have been slightly changed and the two teams...

The realization that the conduct of athletics can and ought to be improved has, we think, been lately brought home to the College as a whole, and we believe that the time has come when the undergraduates are ready to deal with the problem alone, and solve it in a more permanent way than can be done by the enforcement...
