Harvard lost the fourth game with Princeton yesterday on Holmes Field, after as exciting a contest as is ever seen on the ball field. From start to finish the game was closely contested and abounded with brilliant plays, although the playing was very uncertain and errors were numerous among the Harvard men. The game in many respects was a repetition of the famous sixteeninning game which Princeton won here a few weeks ago, but it differed from the fact that yesterday Princeton held the lead from the start until Harvard tied the score in the sixth inning.

We must confess that we have far more respect for the senior who joins in the scrimmage with a sense of hearty good fellowship and enthusiasm, than for the senior who watches...
...usual good showing at the bat, while the Brown men batted finely. We are disappointed that we did not win the series with Brown, but we are in no way discouraged, and we look forward with confidence to the great game of Thursday, which is the most important contest of the year to the students...
