...only third place in the intercollegiate games. The contest on Saturday was a hard one, however, and one of which Harvard men do not need to feel ashamed, although the fact that the result was attributable to the unexpected outcome of one or two events makes the defeat a hard one to bear. Yale earned her victory by clear superiority in four events and by a very creditable showing in others. The race between Harvard and Pennsylvania was very exciting. First one college would lead by a point and then the other, until the score was tied at 20 points...
...Yale men for the sake of the good name of the university cannot, under present conditions, continue an annual contest, which, although generally resulting in a victory for us, has perhaps a worse effect than defeat. And why? Simply because of an unfriendly, unjust criticism of Yale men and Yale methods which have been the result of Harvard's defeats...
Again Yale has defeated Harvard, and this time it is in track athletics, the branch of sports in which Harvard has always been the strongest. Little can be said to excuse the defeat.

The Yale team proved beyond any question that they were stronger than Harvard's and besides winning about all the doubtful events, also took several in which it seemed reasonably sure that Harvard would...
Harvard suffered another crushing defeat yesterday afternoon at the hands of the Holy Cross nine, the score being even to one in favor of the latter. The fielding of Harvard was slovenly and poor and the batting weak; in fact the playing, as a whole, was poorer than one would expect to see in a class game. The team went to pieces at critical moments and failed to pull together at all. Rand and Burgess were the only men who seemed to know how to play ball. The former played a good all-round game, while the latter, although making...
...freshmen won additional glory this afternoon by their defeat of the sophomores in the inter-class contest for the baseball championship. Both classes vied in their endeavors to outdo the noisy demonstrations made by '95 and '96 in their game last week. Brass bands, drum corps complete even to the drum-majors, and cannon fire-crackers, sirens, horns, whistles and even shot guns were brought into requisition to create noise and express class feeling. The sophomores had the better organization, but were unable to "fuss" the freshmen who beat them by a big score. Next week will decide the class...
