...Yale News speaks thus of the Princeton game: "The game resulted in a sad defeat for us, and one long to be remembered. There is no doubt but that a winning game would have been played had the nine been better supported. Many times have our teams been inspired with Yale's enthusiasm to win glorious victories. Harvard sent two hundred and Princeton over a hundred men to eneourage their representatives, while less than twenty Yale men went to support our nine...
...Yale News comes out squarely and acknowledges the probable loss of the championship in base-ball. It is the first time for years that the defeat of our opponents is laid to that hitherto almost unknown quantity, Yale indifference. We quote the editorial in full...

Yet, in spite of the strong probabilities of success, all over confidence must be suppressed, for, of all games, base-ball is one the most uncertain, as has been shown only too often by the unexpected victories of a weak...
