...cricket team leaves today for its first championship match, not, to be sure, with the brightest prospect of success. Harvard can scarcely hope to defeat an eleven containing five or six of the Gentlemen of Philadelphia team which is to visit England next summer; but the college will expect a good showing even against these odds. The eleven has been improving lately, and with sharp fielding and steady work ought at least to keep down the runs.

From this letter we are fully able to comprehend the reason for the inability of the team to appear, and we feel it a duty to apologize to the '91 management for the charges made against them in our last issue, and we hope that a game may be arranged with this team after all. However, we have no reason to retreat from our stand in regard to the Consolidated and the 'Varslty. The actions of those two teams were not least in causing the present misunderstanding with Harvard. It is, however, unnecessary...
