...single college. Harvard's peremptory demand that the game be played in Cambridge is very extraordinary to say the least. The Gill-Beecher letter, on which Harvard founds her claim, was merely the private opinion of two members of the university, and was never intended as an agreement binding the college: but even if it was, the later action of the two colleges, agreeing unconditionally to play in New York, would have annulled it. If Harvard persists in her demand there will be no game and the responsibility for the result rest solely on her shoulders...
First: Last year the regular Yale-Harvard game was scheduled for New Haven according to the well-understood agreement that each college should play on the other's grounds in alternate years.

The fielding of both nines was good, considering the bad condition of the field. The Princeton men were unable to hit Stagg, twenty of them striking...
...freshman nine will play its first game this afternoon on Holmes Field. Arrangements were originally made for a game with the Groton School nine, but owing to an injuury to their pitcher, they threw over their agreement and another game was hastily provided for with a team representing the employees of Bradford, Thomas and Co., of Boston. The game will probably be watched with a good deal of interest by many of the upperclassmen, and this ought to bring out the best qualities in a player both in the field and at the bat. Nothing inspires a freshman team with...
