Last year a much and justly touted Princeton nine came to Cambridge to open the Big Three series. It found a Harvard team with a record that was little better than mediocre, and yet the lowly underdog sent the Tiger home whipped by the score of 7 to 0. Tomorrow, Princeton will again invade the Soldiers Field diamond, once more with a more imposing record than the Crimson's, and again the dopesters pick Harvard to finish second: It will be only a repetition of the same inspired baseball, with a repetition of the shut-out pitching that Spalding displayed...

...mascot is cause for satisfaction rather than for regret. In part it says: "While other colleges were adopting an entire menagerie of appropriate animals, Harvard remained aloof and chaste, refusing parentage of even so mild a nature. Yale became big brother to a bull pup: Princeton mothered a tiger; but Harvard was the father only to a gentle wish that some day this foolishness might cease...
