Even to a superficial observer, it is noticeable that the colors which pass for crimson are of widely different shades. It seems to me that a college color should be as invariable as the college seal. Certainly it would give more an air of unity, and, on the whole, a better appearance, to have the crimson about the various teams and crews of the same shade. An account of the origin of our color would be of interest, and would increase, I think, a desire to have a uniform shade...
Ninth inning. Phillips made a base hit, took second on a pass ball, and scored on LeMoyne's hit. LeMoyne stole second, took his third on Tilden's sacrifice hit, and came home on Allen's fly to Durfee. Smith struck out. For Brown, Chase took his base on balls, but was forced out at second by Shedd. Gunderson struck out, and Shedd was caught trying to steal his second base, closing the game with the score...

...although the advantage lay rather with Harvard, now strengthened by the presence of Henry, who materially aided the forward field. Time was called for ten minutes, and then the men set to work for another half hour.

Sides were changed at once, and the ball went back and forth with great rapidity, Henry doing some lively work in the forward field, while several of the Americans...
...fielders are playing rather a loose game and do not support each other enough. Roundy is effective in covering his man, but does not start quickly for the ball, and when he gets it, either runs too long, or throws it without looking to see whom to pass it to. Churchill is a new man, and as such is doing well, playing with much life. He should learn to pick up the ball more readily and play together with his fellows. Henning is a new man at Harvard, but has played before. His work is very graceful, and his throwing...
