...success, we would gladly have seen Princeton make it close and exciting work for them, as they did last year. But in this we were grievously disappointed. From the very first inning our men began their heavy batting, getting two two-basers at the start, - Princeton in the mean while piling up errors in rapid succession, - until our score reached old-time figures, while Princeton's, through her inability to hit Ernst, remained severely modern in its proportions.

But oftentimes one displays more of his character in his book-case than he has any idea of. First there...
...accepted. The papers of Harvard and Yale treated the affair in a perfectly cool and proper way, but the Cornell Era seized the opportunity of indulging in some of that ungentlemanly bluster of which it is so fond. We do not doubt that the challenged universities acted without any mean or unworthy motives. - Acta Columbiana...
