...gentleman's sport should be so wantonly overlooked here. Few men probably realize what the cricket eleven has done, or what it might do, if it received its share of support from the students. Beginning yearly with a few good cricketers the eleven is filled up with raw men who practice faithfully by themselves unnoticed and disregarded, and by the time the season is well begun, we have at least a fair cricket team, but with hardly an extra man for a substitute. Last spring, starting under just such conditions, the eleven by hard work, succeeded in winning every match...
...naked eye yesterday, but undoubtedly some will overcome their coyness and appear in the field today. There must be some men in so large a class as the freshman class is said to be, who know how to play foot-ball; and there certainly is plenty of raw material which a little practice will develop. Some of the vacancies left by the outgoing class last year must be filled by men from Ninety one. It is to be hoped, therefore, that many freshmen will take courage to-day and come on the field whether they know the game...
...Whether Harvard will outrow Yale is another matter. Yale has the advantage this year of an accomplished coach, Perry Bolton.

Their raggedness, however, is so much more noticeable than Harvard's that I have based my opinion as to Harvard's probable chances upon it. A new coxswain goes in the Yale boat this year. Thompson, a little freshman weighing less than 100 pounds, will take the seat in which...
...clear why the German roads have cost twice as much as our roads. There has been more paid for fences and the like, but not so much for roadbeds. In Australia the price of raw materials is cheaper, and there are no heavy grades to construct. In both countries speed and comfort cannot compare with that in America. The waste in construction in this country is balanced by inefficiency of public service in Germany...
Saturday afternoon the Freshman nine defeated the English High School nine of Boston by a score of 20 to 9 on Jarvis field. The air was cold and raw and the game was uninteresting throughout. The High School team was very weak both at the bat and in the field. The Freshman batted well, and ran bases much better than Freshman teams usually do, but their fielding was very unsteady. Sabine pitched a very good game, barring the bases on balls which he gave. Vila and Piper also fielded well, and McLeod and Piper did the best batting. The feature...
