...unsuspecting freshman, and certainly as little credit in drinking at his expense. The excess that is sometimes seen in the yard, however, is unpardonable. Not satisfied with the exhilaration of the rush itself, a few-we are glad to say, a few-seek pleasure in making conspicious their own bad taste. How much better and more manly it would be if the rush of "Bloody Monday Night" were purely a exhibition of class spirit and prowess, untainted by any show of ill-breeding...
...Holmes field yesterday afternoon between the 'varsity nine and the professional Lowell team. So few spectators attended the game that there was some excuse for the utter lack of life which the Harvard team showed. The fielding was by no means clean, and all the infielders made very bad errors. The batting was even weaker, while the coaching was contemptible.

When the oars are in the water the men lose time in getting their weight on, and do not sweep...
...will agree to the action taken by Harvard, for the proposed rules, if adopted, will remove many objection able features from freshmen athletics In the past the playing of dropped men and professional school men on freshman teams by both Harvard and Yale has caused a great deal of bad feeling and most of the games have been played under protest. The new constitution does away with all such difficulty and requires that a freshman team be one made up exclusively of freshmen. This puts freshman contests on a perfectly just basis an leaves no reason for dispute or protest...
