...resulting from the committee's supervision have already demonstrated its usefulness. The arrangement for balancing the deficiencies of one organization by the surpluses of the others is especially good, and will greatly lighten the burden of maintaining the clubs hitherto supported wholly by subscription. By the amendments, also, the control of the committee over the various clubs is extended and made more than simply advisory. The changes are such as will be approved...
...from Yale which was necessary to pay the expenses of the nine home, as the freshman manager arrived in New Haven with only a few dollars in his pockets. Under these circumstances and under other pressure Capt. Brown concluded to play the game. Yale took their outs and had control of the ball while it was dry, and therefore Harvard was quickly disposed of. But when Wood received the ball it was almost impossible to control it.

...times when there is no excuse for it. By this time every man ought to know what to do, even if there are three men on bases. Another fact is noticeable. In nearly every game so far there has been one disastrous inning when the 'varsity seem to lose control of themselves and the opposing team makes anywhere from three to seven rurs. The necessity of more care at such times is apparent...
