There are many players in college who did not come out to play yesterday. It is hoped that all who can will be on Jarvis every afternoon; the more the better. The same kind of practice will be kept up for several days. It is expected that a provisional eleven will play the Tufts eleven at College Hill, on Saturday afternoon...
...June 26, Yale defeated Harvard for the third time and won the championship of the college league. Harvard played a better game than that of the Saturday before, but inability to bat Stagg was the great defect in their play. Yale's base-running was superb, and won her the game.

Of late they have got a better hold on the water at the beginning of the stroke, but the finish still falls short of being as clean as it should be. They have a magnificent swing, and at times good control of boat and slides. For the past two or three weeks a slower stroke-30 or 31 per minute-has been used than that which the crew rowed...
