The result of the game Saturday convinced the college that the nine is well able to play ball. Bates deserves the greatest credit for the manner in which he filled his trying position and the support given the battery by the other members of the nine was often brilliant. The errors that were made seemed due to over-eagerness rather than to inability to field the ball. During the two weeks to come before the next game with Yale, the nine will have opportunity to meet a number of strong teams. With this additional practice we have great confidence that the nine will win the next game and with it the championship.
