Last Saturday afternoon twenty-five students under the direction of Prof. Carruth met on the ball ground and practiced foot ball preparatory to meeting Baker.

There are some good players here and some that are just the reverse. One half of the players are new men and we have nothing to say of them as we know nothing of their playing ability when it comes to a close game, but to the old players we would say that you had better brace up and play ball for what it is worth and stop playing for the grand stand as was customary with some of the players last year. Affection in base ball, like every thing else, is a failure and should receive the ridicule it deserves. There are over thirty students taking electrical engineering this fall.
