...treat them on this account with indifference. There is nothing which will more surely doom Harvard athletics not only to be but also to remain in a bad way than such treatment. Causes enough there are which play a part in bringing defeat, but we believe that none is more fatal than a weakness in the University spirit. The men on the teams never would work as they now do if they were simply a number of athletes joined into teams for their own purosse only. They work because they believe that the University regards them as representatives, is interested...
...victory over Princeton gives immense satisfaction. Before the game it was felt that Harvard had a fighting show but nothing more; yet the nine won, won handily, and won on their merits. It was beautiful work. Stung by the defeat at the hands of Pennsylvania, the nine came out to play the game of their lives; they threw all their power into their work from the moment play was begun, and astonished the spectators by the game they showed themselves capable of playing. It was the most gratifying victory won by Harvard this year, and to Captain Wiggin and every...

The best chance of victory which Harvard has had seemed to rest with the Mott Haven team; and yet both times Yale's team out-pointed Harvard's and did it squarely. Defeat is the ugly fact which must be accepted...
After winning a victory from Yale the freshman nine has lost to Brown. The temptation is strong immediately to attribute the defeat to over-confidence, and unsparingly to blame the nine. We believe this would not be just. The circumstances of the games were different; the Mott Haven team needed the pitcher who played last Saturday and his absence yesterday weakened the nine considerably. And yet it cannot be denied that this is not a full explanation; the style of play shown by the players generally was below that of Saturday. The nine is in a critical condition...
