...Soldiers Field this afternoon at 8 o'clock. Without doubt today's game will force the University to do its best to win, as Cornell has gone through the season undefeated, having won from both Stevens and Hobart by large scores.

The next game, with Holy Cross on May 3, was won by Yale 4-2, the fielding of the victorious team being particularly brilliant. On May 5 Yale won again, defeating Georgetown 4-1 in a well-played game. This winning streak was broken up by Virginia, which, on May 6, overwhelmed the Yale...
