Harvard won yesterday's game with Cornell, by a score of 3 to 0. The game was very interesting as the men played with a great deal of snap, as a whole, and also since the make up of the battery for Saturday's game depended largely on yesterday's work...
...Saturday, against Browne and Nichols, on Norton's field. Only five innings were played, but the game was long and tiresome, as the Browne and Nichols team could not handle the ball at all, but made errors on the easiest balls and plays. The freshmen played with as much snap as could be expected, against such a team. Webb pitched throughout the game. His pitching was fair, but he seemed inclined to lose his head. Walker caught the first two innings, when he hurt his finger, and was replaced by McAdams. The batting was good, Worman, Rogers and Wadsworth, doing...
...Athletic Association is to be congratulated for the success of its winter meetings. On Saturday, especially, the events went off with a good deal of snap, thereby adding materially to the enjoyment of the on-lookers.

The men as a whole lack snap and put very little heart into their work. They do not go in as if they realized that two important games with Yale and perhaps one with Princeton are to be played which can be won only by faithful and hard work. There is a tendency to shirk the sliding and running especially. About 18 men will be kept practising during the Easter vacation...
...They ought to learn that they must be exactly together in catching the water and in getting the hands away. Stroke is too short; 7 rows well; 6 is too slow; 5 is unsteady and pulls his arms in too hard; 4 rows poorly; 3 needs a little more snap in the general rowing; 2 is too new at the work to criticize; bow is too short and very apt to get the stroke reversed...
