Eighty-eight and Ninety played a close though uninteresting game on Holmes Field yesterday. Ninety scored four runs in the first inning on hits by Slade, Sabine and McLeod. After this they could not seem to bunch their hits and so lost. Eighty-eight played a good fielding game and Austin pitched finely striking out men at critical points. Mr. Abbott, L. S., umpired the game acceptably. The score...

...notice through your columns the actions of a certain set of sophomores in Memorial Hall. In the matter of loud talking, boisterous behaviour, and general vulgarity of demeanor they are unexcelled. If they would only indulge in their monkey shines when there are no strangers about; but they seem to take particular delight in throwing bread, hammering on the table and cursing the waiter when there are spectators in the gallery. Just at this time the public is subjecting Harvard students to a good deal of unfavorable criticism, and it behooves us to be very careful of the impressions...

...notice the improvement which is now taking place in the appearance of the yard by the sodding of old, worn out patches of grass without a feeling of satisfaction. Indeed the college has gone to a good deal of trouble and expense in so doing, and it would seem as if every one ought to be considerate enough not to cut across and tread upon the newly planted sod.

...they read such lies in the columns of the daily press. On the occasion mentioned above, there was absolutely no hissing whatever on the part of the Harvard men; and, in fact, the conduct of the spectators on both sides was perfectly decent and gentlemanly throughout the game. It seems to be a rule among press reporters, whenever they can make out a story which will injure college men, that it is their duty to do so, and they follow the paths of their so-called duty with a ghoulish glee that is positively sickening. There are certain papers...

Every seat was taken in Sanders Theatre last night on the occasion of the last musical concert of the year. The Cambridge audiences seem to inspire the clubs, for nowhere do they give more finished performances. The first part of the programme dragged a little. The Banjo Club appeared first with the selection "Leaning on the Garden Gate." The club does not yet play with the finish one would expect, but in the second number they were encored at each appearance. The Glee Club gave a group of college songs, but with a certain lack of life. One feature...
