...take this opportunity of congratulating the freshmen on their victory over Yale. It was none the less welcome because expected. Harvard played with determination, but the work of the freshmen was however, at times disappointing. The fielding at two or three points was uncertain, and the outfielders especially were culpably slow. Moreover, Harvard would have stood little chance of winning by her batting if the game had not been played on home grounds. Except in the one inning the work in this particular was anything but satisfactory, and unless a decided improvement comes Yale will win the game...
...failure to form a dual league according to Harvard's proposal necessarily complicated the negotiations, but the original dates have been accepted by both colleges. Upon the points of disagreement each college yielded something. The long delay and trouble in arranging these games shows one disadvantage of the present uncertain state of intercollegiate athletics, and the benefit to both Yale and Harvard of a dual league...
...goes back too far and is slow with his hands; 5 has a serious hang and is slow at the catch; 4 bends his arms too soon, keeps bad time, rows his oar high in the air on the recover and often feathers under water on account of an uncertain finish; 3, slow with his hands; bow slow at the finish and weak at the catch.

...here in 1888-89, $2621.35. The management also lowered the price of season tickets in 1888-89, to $2.50. The price was $5 the previous year. More than four times as many tickets were sold last year as in 1887 88, but whether this actually increased the receipts is uncertain. These were two special items of expense in 1888 89 which raised the gross amount. The nine received permission to play with professional teams and at Easter went to Philadelphia. The expenses of this trip were over $600. The guarantees also paid visiting teams were larger in amount and more...
...against the same team. Williams discovered the weak points and by attacking those repeatedly gained much ground. The rush line work was very poor and Williams had little difficulty to make holes in it. The tackling of several of the team was high and the passing was slow and uncertain. Harvard's superiority lay chiefly in the excellent work of the packs and ends. The weakness of the rushline was probably partly due to the constant change in the make up of the team during the past two weeks. However, the men all play with snap and energy...
