First Record Of Inter Collegiate Baseball Schedule Appeared

First record of inter-collegiate baseball schedule appeared. Under the direction of Captain Dibble, baseball games were scheduled against New York University, Syracuse University, Hamilton College, Clinton Liberal Institute, and Oneonta Normal. A check of the archives at the other schools by our university archivist emeritus found that only two games at Oneonta were played and that record is only found in the Oneonata student newspaper. There is no mention of them in The Echo for 1898, no mention of baseball in 1899, and after 1899 we hold only broken runs of The Echo, our only source of information about athletics at our school. There is a photo of the baseball team in the 1900 Neon, our school's first yearbook.
