...Fault is found with Princeton for playing Ames because he has played in some base ball games for money, and therefore comes under the term professional. Affidavits have been shown to prove this, and a facsimile of a letter of Ames's tending in the same direction. It appears also that Ames and others have produced counter affidavits and declarations that the letter is a forgery. Now my first question: Why is it not fair and just to give Ames and Princeton the benefit of the doubt till the facts are established, or, at least, leave the question open...
...play, and Ames resound and increase with Princeton's score, till at the close Princeton is pronounced a brute, a knave, a liar. The Princeton players were, heavier men and older men than Harvard and could stand a rough game of give-and-take longer. Was this Princeton's fault? Then, too, there is no dispute that they played a better game. But the cry of brutes-based on Donnelly's and general rough play; knave-based on the calling to Princeton of other than regular students; and of liar-based on the conduct of playing Ames-goes...
...tear up their tickets for Springfield because of Saturday's defeat. Just because of that defeat, we ought to send an immense Harvard crowd to Springfield. We must show out team that we have perfect confidence in their ability to win. As the CRIMSON pointed out on Monday, the fault was not in the players, but in the fact that they were not prepared for two hours' work instead of one. But above all, they must feel from first to last that Harvard is unwavering in their support. It is just as much our duty to cheer the team when...
...first half, while in the second, every man on the home team weakened perceptibly, and the Princeton men got through Harvard's rushline without trouble. It is a question to what was due Harvard's weakening in the last third of the game but the great fault seemed to be that the men were not trained to play such a long and hard game. For a time the Harvard team played a game remarkble both for its strength steadiness and quickness, and if they could have kept it up Princeton would surely have been beaten. It was plain, however, that...
...wish to be always finding fault, but in the matter of senior and junior forensics the dissatisfaction is so widespread that there must be a real grievance. The delay in the issue of the forensic pamphlet and the press of other college work at the time the brief was due compelled many men to postpone the greater part of the work until the briefs were returned. Briefs were returned yesterday and the forensics are due next Wednesday-thus giving only six days for the actual work of writing. This is altogether too short a time for the preparation...
