Challenge of Amherst Freshmen.

The captain of the freshman nine has received a letter from the manager of the Amherst freshman team, challenging Harvard to play two games during the spring-one at Cambridge and one at Amherst. If satisfactory financial arrangements can be made it is probable that the challenge will be accepted for one if not for both games. A definite reply cannot be sent to Amherst yet, however. No challenge has yet been received from the Yale freshmen, and it is thought best not to arrange any other games to take place late in the spring, until the date for one of the games with Yale has been arranged. This plan will prevent any possible conflict with either of the Yale games. The Amherst freshmen generally have a very good nine, and it is to be hoped that at least one game may be arranged with them.
