...chief sources of confidence for success in Saturday's game. We beg to say a final word to the team before the important game of Wednesday next. Beware of kicking high punts from half or quarter-backs.

For '83 Nichols, Ranney and Edwards did the best work, the last-mentioned player making a fine catch of a difficult ball, and putting a man out at third. The batting, on the whole, was weak, although Baker and Nichols each made a two-base hit. The score...
Smith, the Yale student who was recently arrested and fined for swindling, is the player who in Harvard's game with Yale last spring made the remarkable fielding catch of Coolidge's long fly, and thus contributed so largely to Yale's success in the game...
