...result of the game Saturday convinced the college that the nine is well able to play ball. Bates deserves the greatest credit for the manner in which he filled his trying position and the support given the battery by the other members of the nine was often brilliant. The errors that were made seemed due to over-eagerness rather than to inability to field the ball. During the two weeks to come before the next game with Yale, the nine will have opportunity to meet a number of strong teams. With this additional practice we have great confidence that...
...ball, base-ball, track athletics and tennis which Yale has had with other colleges, and is a decided credit to the author. As a general thing, books on athletics contain a confusing tangle of dates, names, anecdotes and statistics; but Mr. Hurd has separated everything in such a systematic manner as make the book particularly attractive to the reader.

There was not the least sign of ill feeling between the members of the two colleges, and the Yale men gave forth a prolonged "Harvard" at the end of their quick, short cheer, while the Harvard men returned the compliment over and over again...
...Prometheus Fired" treats of the old athletic question in a very new and original manner. Portions of this socalled lost Play of Aeschylus are very clever and well written. The work is, however, very uneven in point of merit. The charge of the Archon Eponymous is by far the brightest and best written scene of the play. The plot lacks continuity and hence fails to some extent in its purpose...
