...lack of personal encouragement from Harvard men was greatly to be deplored, and our crew was wholly deprived of this assistance, which helped Cornell so materially...
...dreary affair it has usually been. We wish, now, to urge upon all students the importance of attending it. Prize speaking is a matter of college interest, and should attract more than a handful of listeners. In other colleges it has a dignity and importance which it must lack here as long as empty benches are the only audience and no one cares to know who wins. It is to be hoped that Sanders Theatre will this year be well filled, especially if the contest can be in the evening, when the examinations and other diversions...
...attendance of 2,500 persons witnessed Yale win a second victory from Harvard on Saturday last. A lack of confidence seemed to pervade the Nine, probably owing to the forced absence of Tyng.

To this lack of assurance, rather than to any other cause, is to be attributed the number of base-hits made by Yale. That we were beaten fairly and squarely by far superior batting is an undeniable fact...
