We predict for Ohio Wesleyan a champion team and a profitable season.Base Ball Dates.The Base Ball Team Rapidly Developing—Who Some of theAspirants Are.Manager Colter has made the following list of dates for the base ball team:Never in the history of the O. W. U. has the base ball season opened with more favorable circumstances. The Athletic Association is once more on its feet, and promises every support possible to the coming team. The faculty, too, have taken an unusual interest in the game, and will give us all the aid necessary for placing a clean amateur team upon this year's Diamond.” The management has spared no amount of labor in order to give Ohio Wesleyan a champion team, as well as an unusually good schedule of games. It now remains for the students, faculty and citizens of Delaware to turn out at each game, and give our team the necessary moral and financial aid that such a team deserves.
