Done.
Twas FIRST dream, aud then thought,
That hand and brain to being brought.
The mines and forests gave their best,
And skillful man has done the rest,

That all might perfect be, and grand;

The competition of the Yale baseball

Harvey '93; Arbuthnot '94; third base, Rus
'94 S.; outfeld, Bigelow '94, Case '94, Beall

The fact that Murphy, '98, last years
captain and shortstop was not measured
gives substsnti liability to the report that he
will play with the law school nine this sea-
son, though he is senior In the academic
department and entirely eligible. Murphy
himself, however, will not state whether
he will play or not.
