...course easy to criticise, and we should hesitate in making our objections if we did not feel that we had a substitute to propose. It seem to us that the undergraduates and graduates of the college should have the first chance at the seats. The game is a college game, and the team is supported by graduates and undergraduates of Harvard. It is eminently fitting that they should be provided for before the general public. The scheme which we suggest, therefore, is this. Let graduates and undergraduates be allowed to send to the manager of the nine or leave...
...view of next Saturday's game with Princeton, since the Holy Cross men had a number of yells which they kept going the greater part of the time. In spite of the cheering, Highlands kept as cool as could be, and in fact, the whole team did not seem in the least troubled. This is fortunate, since it is some time since the men have been treated to the deafening Princeton cheers...
...good chance or getting a better idea of how the game of cricket is played. One of the reasons why the college takes so little interest in the game is that most of the men do not understand the fine points of the playing. Almost any game would seem dull to those who could not appreciate what the players were striving for; and many a game which in its crudeness is rather slow, becomes remarkably interesting when the more subtle plays are understood. Cricket at Harvard seems to suffer from this very ignorance among the students of the real skill...
...unpleasant to have to call the attention of the freshmen to the fact that they have a base ball nine which is playing games in Cambridge. It would seem that they were ignorant of this very obvious truth to judge from the number of men who have been in the habit of watching their nine play. At the game with Technology there were hardly half a dozen. It is discouraging for a team not to feel that some interest is being taken in its movements; to know that they are being watched by supporters instead of by an indifferent crowd...
...cricket eleven is to be congratulated on receiving permission to play games in Philadelphia. This will not only give the team an enjoyable trip, but will afford them two excellent matches. The granting of this petition may seem at first sight like an inconsistent infringement of the New England rule, but a little consideration will show that the action is perfectly consistent. As we understand it, the New England rule was made to restrict the course which the athletics of the time were taking. If the condition of things has so changed that it appears for the best interests...
