...glad to see that the convention decided to retain the foul-bound catch, but think they would have done even better if they had also retained the old rule in regard to the delivery of the pitcher. Still, under the circumstances, these are minor matters of consideration and can be remedied if necessary at any future meeting...
...with conscientious work, we can probably keep up the reputation we have so justly earned. It must be borne in mind, however, that nothing but conscientious work can accomplish this result. Some men who play lacrosse seem to look on it simply as a pleasant recreation and so think it unnecessary to practice more than semi-occasionally.

We hope that the work during the coming season will necessitate...

This proceeding is at the best somewhat questionable, and we hope that the higher price has not been determined upon simply because the managers think they can get it. They should remember with what disfavor the project of charging extra prices was regarded last spring in the base-ball games.

In this way we should avoid a repetition of difficulties, the blame of which can be fastened satisfactorily upon no one. As a rule, we think that every athletic contest, especially an inter-collegiate contest, should be governed by a set of definite written rules. In this way no college will be enabled by mere technicality to claim a superiority which is ridiculous and absurd...
