...home grounds for twelve years, and it is well known that precedent plays an important part in deciding athletic contests. But last Saturday what was becoming a precedent was broken at Cambridge, and a new one established which will serve to encourage the University team today. Although defeat was met at Brown in the middle of the week, we still have every confidence in the Harvard nine's ability to play good baseball. Not an error was made in the first game with Princeton, and although the batting was light, hits were made at the most timely moments...

But this year our hopes have been raised by the team's enviable record in the earlier part of the season, and we trust that the "hoodoo" will be broken today. The University team has been meeting and defeating teams which have had much more competition than it this spring, and has proven that Harvard has one of the best college nines in the country. A comparison of the scores of the two teams so far this...
