THE BASEBALL COACH.

The baseball team is to be congratulated on securing Mr. Pieper to coach the nine for another season. It is always a pleasure to have a successful coach who is also a Harvard graduate, and Mr. Pieper's three years with Freshman teams and one year with the University nine make him eminently fit to lead another team to victory. His qualifications rest not only upon his success of last season against Yale, but also upon the spirit which he infused into the team, and the idea which he worked on-that the baseball season is not a perpetual round of drudgery, but an opportunity so get the most enjoyment out of the sport and at the same time to develop a team capable of defeating our most important rivals.

In this Mr. Pieper succeeded last year, and we wish him even more complete success with next year's team. The team is intact with the exception of Captain Dexter, and with an overwhelming majority of players who have worked under him for one season, there is every reason to expect that the coming year will witness victories in baseball over Princeton as well as Yale.
