...same sentence by the assertion that "no one. . . . can attribute the disastrous result to these causes." In the item column we are sarcastically told " the thanks of the College are due Harvard for the gentlemanly manner" in which the Freshman nine was treated. Any man who was present at the Freshman match, and heard the hearty applause with which good plays on either side were received, knows how entirely untrue any charge of bullying is. We do think that it is hardly necessary to clap a player who gets his first-base on an error; but it is perfectly evident...

...Yale game. Every one should consider that his presence at or absence from New Haven on the 24th will affect the result of the game to a considerable extent. Each man who cares to see Harvard victorious should make a point of helping to win the game, by being present at it. Doubtless the same advantageous terms will be again offered by the railway company, so that the journey to Yale will be easy and inexpensive...

...that system. The students who are to have the benefit of the privilege - those who have attained seventy per cent - are the very men who will not abuse it, and they are hardly complimented by the assertion that they will be "tempted to cut on any pretext."

THAT was the score at New Haven last Saturday. What does this show? It clearly shows that our Freshmen are at present a weak batting, but a good fielding nine. The Yale pitcher is a good one, but even those hits that were not base hits were not, as a rule, good square ones. Evidently there must be more attention paid to batting; there is good material in the Nine, and if they practise more at the bat, they can be a strong batting as well as a strong fielding nine. They must by no means neglect fielding practice...
