We publish in to-day's issue an account of the progress of the freshman nine. Surely with such an array of talent, Captain Vila ought not to be at a loss to choose, when spring comes, nine men to represent '90 at New Haven. But, '90, only a small portion of the year's work has been done as yet. Strict training and much practice must be done before you will be able to cope successfully with Yale. You have beaten her once; it should be an extra incentive to be victorious over her in the base-ball field. It is rumored that the Yale freshmen have some unusually good material and that they are doing everything to retrieve their losses of last fall. If this be true, you will have to look sharp to your laurels, else they will be snatched away. Emulate the example which has been set you by '89. Be not content with one victory over Yale, but win both ball games. Strict attention to duty and implicit obedience to your captain are the only means of arriving at the end which not only your classmates, but also the whole college, wish you to attain.
