...year examinations at Princeton will begin on January 24, the same date that they begin with us...
...effects of the committee's action which will be mainly criticized. Let us, then, for a moment, consider these. The direct result of the new regulation will be that Harvard will withdraw from the base ball league this year and from the Mott Haven games next season. Unless a dual league is formed, therefore, we will be out of all systematized intercollegiate athletics, since in view of the new regulation Princeton will hardly propose a triple league. But after all, what of this? Hardly such dire results, we believe, as some fear. Harvard certainly has never been in so favorable...
...course impossible thus early to predict the effect of the new regulation upon the chances of a dual league. This much is certain, however, that it cannot by any possibility become a barrier to the desired result. It seems to us clear, therefore, that the ultimate effect of the recent vote of the Athletic committee will simply be to free our intercollegiate athletics from many disagreeable complications such as those which have come into prominence this college year, and to tighten the bonds already existing between Harvard and Yale until they are at last drawn together into a dual league...
...feature of college athletics first came into prominence at Harvard, and was copied from us by other colleges. Until within two years our teams have taken, almost consistently, first place at the Mott Haven games in this event. Now, however, there seems to be little or no interest in the sport and no attempt to prepare a team for this year's contest. Our men seem to have been completely discouraged by the defeats of last year. Meanwhile Yale and Columbia are putting forth every effort to put a winning team into the field...
Speaking generally there seems to us no valid reason why Harvard should not have a successful team this year as well as any year. Her facilities for practice are certainly as good as those of any other college, and her amount of amount of possible material clearly greater. All that is needed, therefore, is a little real energy. We cannot afford, no college represented at Mott Haven can afford, to let a single event pass uncontested when there is even a possible chance of victory. By neglecting to send a team this year we reduce materially our chances of winning...
