...excusable. Good substitutes are at hand for the '83 crew, while the 'Varsity has to look elsewhere to find men to take the place of any of the regular Crew who may unluckily be unable to row. For '83 to place its own interests ahead of those of the whole College is happily without precedent, and we trust that no succeeding class will follow them in the matter...
...shows that there must be some points open to criticism. Several games were lost by a hair's-breadth, and we were led to attribute this result to "hard luck;" but we think that the causes of our ill-success lie deeper than that. The base-running, on the whole, has been poor, and it is safe to say that the second game, if no other, with Yale, was lost through this deficiency. The fielding has been fair, with two or three exceptions; while the batting has been extremely variable. The great trouble has been in finding a catcher...
Behind the quarter of a mile of these interesting sights came the pet of the whole show, - the baby elephant. It was named "Prayers," and was regarded as the spoilt child of the University.

The enlivening strains of heavenly melody, the brightly flashing armor of the knights, the brilliant galaxy of starry loveliness, the ferocious roaring of the imprisoned monsters, - all combined to make a scene richer than
...would do credit to other organizations which make larger claims upon College support. The two clubs by whom it has just been defeated have the reputation of being first-class teams. Hence the result of the games has been neither unexpected nor discouraging. But though the organization, as a whole, is a success, yet some points may be fairly criticized. For instance, the fielding is at times wretched, a fault which a little hard work would easily remedy. Another matter that apparently might be improved is the composition of the team in the different matches. The same players, and those...
