The '89 Class Nine.

In compliance with the request of the captain of the junior class nine, the members of last year's team assembled in 55 Thayer last evening to prepare for the coming season. Captain McPherson was forced to resign the captaincy of the nine, and C. Downer was unanimously elected to fill his place. The '89 nine will be severely handicapped by the loss of Trafford who played first base for two years, but is now rowing with the 'varsity crew. The rest of last year's team will probably be able to play in their usual positions, but every man in the class who has ever played ball is urged to come out on Jarvis Field this afternoon at 2 o'clock, to practice batting and fielding. There is every reason to believe that all the class teams will be very evenly matched this year and that the contest will be more exciting and interesting that it has ever been before.
