Description

The Gambier Kenyon Collegian, May 1, 1860: "A large Base Ball Club holds daily sessions at the upper end of the Park; a Wicket-Club does good execution at evenings, at the ancient ground east of the college." A Cricket Club is also mentioned.

The Nov. 1858 issue mentions wicket and foot-ball being played on campus.
