The freshman nine played a match game with Tech. '91 last Saturday afternoon, and were defeated by a score of 13 to 10. The grounds were in wretched condition and there was a strong wind blowing in toward home plate which prevented heavy batting. As may be seen by the score, the nine is very weak at the bat, and it will take hard individual work to bring them up to the necessary standard. The only feature of the game was the pitching of Oxford, who held the freshman down to four scattering hits in nine innings. In the fifth inning Sheldon injured his finger, and Whitely took his place behind the bat, while Wilson played centre field. Spaulding pitched for the freshman after the fifth inning. The score was as follows:
