...disgraceful exhibitions at New Bedford and Boston. The weakest point seems to be the batting, only one base-hit being made in the whole game, and many of the men seeming to be surprised into striking. Although we much admired the catcher's cool playing Wednesday, we doubt whether he has the requisite strength for the position; could not the catcher of the Beacons be induced to play? We also need at least one active man in the field who will cover a tolerable amount of ground and do well at the bat. Although the prospect for the future...

It now rests with the classes to say whether the new system shall succeed, and we hope that they will at once take steps to elect captains, and put crews in training. The prize colors will be placed in the new Gymnasium, and the cups will be of real value. As the Freshman class already has a crew in training...
