Shattuck's delivery did not seem to present any difficulty to the Yale Nine, and the ball was pounded all over the field. Our batting was by no means weak, ten hits being made off Lamb, but these were scattered; and the beautiful fielding of Yale prevented runs being made, even when the bases were filled. For our side, Nichols led the batting record, and in the field made a pretty running catch that closed the game. Olmsted played with...
After this little introduction, they all go on to smile upon those who have smiled on them, or to pour floods of weak sarcasm-and-water on the head of the Niagara Index.

More light articles would brighten it up. The Princetonian is earnest and gentlemanly. The Bowdoin Orient is weak in editorials, but full of news. The Oberlin Review has thoughtful editorials, and occasionally publishes excellent literary articles. The Tuftonian presents an extremely neat appearance, and is interesting, with the exception of some of its longer articles. The Beacon asks...
