...account of the examinations but few men witnessed the game between Harvard and Columbia on Holmes field yesterday afternoon. The wind was high and gusty all the afternoon, blowing almost directly up the field, making fielding difficult. Some long flies which would have been hits but for the wind were caught out. The fielding of both nines was sharp, Columbia making but 5 errors, Harvard, 4. Bates, although he was not quite in such good form as usual, giving 4 men bases on balls, held the visitors down to three hits, one of which was a scratch hit, and struck...
...gift of Yale of $125,000 for a new library. The ground for the structure has already been broken, and work is now progressing rapidly. The plans, which were prepared by a New York firm, provide for a building with a capacity of 300,000 volumes. It will be almost square, about 100 feet on a side, and 80 feet high.

This will make the building entirely fire-proof, even to the doors, most of which will...

Blodgett made two more goals, Hewes three, and Kilvert and Towle one each, The defence did not have much work to do, and soon got into a careless style of playing which will prove disastrous if indulged in at Princeton. Harvard's team...
...following is taken from the New Haven Union: "The fact is that Stagg is out of form and cannot be depended upon. He is very wild at times, and but for the superb work of Dann, who is catching a better game than almost any professional in the country, the scores of the opposing nines would be much larger...
