...would call the attention of the college to the fact that all nines intending to contest for the CRIMSON cups must have their entries in the box at Leavitt and Peirces before 9.30 this evening. It is certainly seldom enough that opportunity is offered for anything like a systematized contest between nines which represent the, so to speak, "non-professional" ball players of the University. We hope, therefore, that the number of entries will be large. There is nothing in the conditions for the series to prevent nines from the Law School, or other graduate department from entering...
...regarded in too unfavorable light. There is good material in the team, and a few days steady work will soon put the nine in a good condition for successful work. While the Yale freshman nine is exceptionally strong, and has already shown great spirit in its sharp contest with Amherst, we feel confident that the success of eighty-eight is only a question of work upon the part of each member of the nine. Though the game with the Newtons may at first have appeared slightly discouraging, it can only serve to point out the individual weakness of the freshmen...

Let us look at it now;-twenty-two men, carefully trained and in the highest possession of all their powers, contest the game with all the confidence and skill that only careful instruction inspires. There they depended on numbers and strent to win the game; here, there is a possibility for fine work, all a man's energies, physical and mental, being brought into play.

TUMBLINGFollowed the flying rings, A. T. Dudley, and Knapp, C. S. were the only men of the large number who have practiced tumbling during the winter who cared to contest for the prize. A variety of single and double somersaults, hand springs, one handed somersaults, etc., made up the programme in this contest. Dudley was awarded the prize...
...freshmen cannot be blamed for their exultant feelings over their well earned victory in the tug-of-war contest, nor for their desire to celebrate it in some fitting way; but the needless destruction of private property in the shape of front gates, is inexcusable, and deserving of the severest censure, tending as it does to bring the college into disrepute among the good citizens of Cambridge. We sincerely hope that nothing of this kind will take place again. We would also inform the freshmen that there is a college rule forbidding the kindling of bon-fires within the yard...
