There has been in the last two or three weeks some trouble in regard to arranging the dates of the Harvard Yale Freshman base ball games, Yale insisting on June 1 as one date and Harvard not wishing to accept, because on that date the Harvard 'Varsity plays a game and the Yale 'Varsity does not, which would prevent Harvard from playing any men from the 'Varsity nine. Yale took the stand that she had a right to name one date and stick to it, eaving Harvard her choice of any other date she might wish...

Therefore, for the first game, we will accept any date Harvard may offer, provided, according to agreement, that it be played at Cambridge. For the second game Yale will choose as before, June 1, at New Haven. By this means, we believe, dates can be arranged by both Harvard and Yale, which shall prove for the best interests...
