A meeting of candidates was held at the room of Capt. Abbott of the freshman team. From a dozen to twenty men were present, and these, with several other promising men who have signified their intention of playing, ought to furnish material for a good twelve. The Cambridge club, newly organized, the Andover Academy and the second twelve of the Unions were spoken of as likely to be fit opponents to play matches with. It was also asked whether Yale had a freshman team. Capt. Abbot presided while the men voted for a secretary and manager treasurer to carry on the business affairs of a team. Geo. P. Furber was elected secretary and E. H. Rogers, manager-treasurer. Sticks will be procured from the association and from the supply ordered from New York. The meeting then adjourned.
