...chances of the final success of the nine. At the bat they did so much better than was expected, and exhibited such fine form in the field, that they inspired great hope of a victory in the game with Yale on Saturday. Their fielding throughout has been almost unexceptional, the great weakness being in their batting; but with such marked improvement as has just been shown, the prospect is very encouraging. We have been unfortunate in many ways, but now, with three of the four remaining games to be played at home, there is every reason to expect that...
...arrange matches this spring with Columbia and Princeton, since these teams are more evenly matched against ours. The matches arranged are, May 24th, Haverford College, and May 25th, University of Pennsylvania. Haverford has a strong team and will prove a very dangerous adversary, while the University of Pennsylvania presents almost as strong an eleven as America can show. Going to Philadelphia, the home of American cricket, our eleven can hardly hope for much success, though the practice it will get will tend to very good results in the future...
Harvard has certainly every reason to feel satisfied with the result of the athletic games on Saturday. The records in almost every instance were very good, and the fact that, except in the case of the mile walk, no one of the winners was pressed, give us every reason to expect far better performances next Saturday. Mr. Soren in the running high jump excelled any of his previous records, and in Mr. Atkinson, who cleared five feet six inches, we have an excellent man to take his place next year. The running of Mr. Goodwin and Mr. Morison was beyond...
...today at the games, care should be taken that no such opportunity be given the Cambridge mucker to voice his sentiments. It is sufficient annoyance when his hoots and cries are confined to the outside of the fence, but when his comments on the game are shouted forth almost directly over one's head, it is simply unbearable. Perhaps no better argument could be brought forward for a fence around the new athletic grounds than a few such exhibitions as these...
...trust that a large delegation from '86 will accompany the freshman nine to New Haven tomorrow. By their conscientious work during the spring and their success in the games played thus far, the freshmen have fully earned the confidence of the college. It is almost unnecessary to urge that an enthusiastic support will do much towards earning a victory; this is a fact evident to all. This year, for the first time in a considerable period, there is every indication of success - a nine who play well together, three men from the 'Varsity and an experienced captain. But while...
