But we all believed then, and still believe that our boys are capable of putting up a better game, and that the errors which caused this defeat were made by rneh who usually play fine ball. ' - Gentlemen of the base ball team, don't lose heart. The University is at your back and every student is con fident of a winning game in Char lotiesville next month. No one blames you for the defeat, and we are one and all aware of the fact that you played ball which the University should be proud of, and that you will continue to reflect honor on the White and Blue. Keep up hard practice during the next month aud don't relax one particle. If you do your best we shall celebrate on the night of April 26th. Saturday's game was not lost thro' any lack of training or management on the part of Caplain Stanley. He has done well and we all have confi dence in him and in his ability to put out a winning team in the end.
