lar team playing a schedule of games.
In place o. baseball. lacrosse will be
taken up as a school sport
This change has been considered for
several years, and has been decided upon
only after most thoughtful consideration
II is thought that, because Of the evils Of
summer or professional baseball and the
fact that many students have been lured
away from school and into temptations
and bad company by professional offers
before they had finished school, It would
be best not to develop. by encouraging
baseball. an ambition in the students q
become professional players. since so few
have the strength of character or the
ability tc engage in sUcn a calling sue
cessfully.
The baseball boys could not very wei
be prevented from engaging in profess
siOuaI baseball in the summer. because
the students. instead OF going home in
the summer vacation. as college students
do. are put TO work under the outing
system. and boys who could earn iron
$50 TO 500 month during the summer
playing baseball were naturally not con
tented to go out TO the seashore or on
