...evils of speculation have been so often discussed as to need no further comment from us. It is for the interest not only of the graduating class, but also of the undergraduates, who will in their turn profit by the successful establishment of a good precedent, to make 83's class day as perfect as possible. We rely, therefore, on their hearty co-operation in our efforts to restrict tickets to seniors and their friends...
There is no need of calling attention to the second freshman game with Yale which is to be played this afternoon on Jarvis. Every freshman will be there and a great many upper class-men will add dignity by their presence. We do not know whether or no any of the freshman faculty will lend their support by attending the game - as is said to have been the case at Yale - but we do feel confident that there will be a large enough crowd to give the freshmen all the encouragement they need.

The writer in the Journal thinks some means should...
...nine were near-sighted, the fielders used crutches, and the rest had never seen a first base, we should still say : "Our victorious athletes left last night to wipe up Harvard, on her own grounds, this afternoon. There will be need of a crowd to spur them on, the Yale nine will not be allowed more than six runs apiece, and we long for a foeman worthy our steel." etc. There's nothing like "hoping for the best" and scattering it all around for the benefit of the disheartened. - [Yale Courant...
