...game of yesterday cannot fail to give satisfaction to every one interested in the success of the nine. The ability to play a steady up-hill game in spite of a strong lead in favor of the opposing nine is a proof that the preliminary work has not been in vain. The fielding of our nine was far superior to any of the previous work of the nine, while the batting was very fair. The steady work of the battery was the special feature of the game and gives promise of success in the future. A game of such length...
...Yale papers are cheering on their freshman nine in hopes that their efforts will lead to victory for the blue when harvard '87 meets Yale '87 at base-ball. It seems that much despondency was felt in New Haven when the college heard that their freshmen had been defeated by Williston Academy for the first time in ten years.

By this it was seen, that in 1860 Harvard led in this respect and has maintained this lead ever since. At that time one half of the senior year was devoted to the study of Bowen's Political Economy...
...freshmen and Andover Academy are different. The playing will be more even, and '87 will have a chance to learn, perhaps, that it is necessary to keep cool when the score is close, and not get "rattled" and go to pieces if at any time their adversaries have a lead in the score. '87, with the material which it has, ought to come out of these next few games with a good clean record of victories...
